Khufu

About Khufu

Khufu, an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, is primarily remembered as the visionary ruler responsible for commissioning the Great Pyramid of Giza. This architectural marvel, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, solidifies his historical importance, leading the Pantheon project to rank him #295 globally for cultural impact across millennia. As an architect and builder of this colossal structure, his influence on monumental engineering and ancient civilization remains profound.

Despite his high historical ranking, Khufu’s modern digital footprint is relatively modest. He received approximately 335K annualized Wikipedia pageviews in 2025. This places him at an "attention gap" of roughly 1x, meaning his attention is relatively proportional to his historical rank, but significantly lags behind figures from other eras. For contrast, Pontius Pilate, ranked #467, garnered 1.3M views in the same year, indicating a much stronger modern search presence despite a lower historical index score.

This data suggests that while Khufu's primary legacy endures through stone, his online visibility is currently stable, showing a slight year-over-year decrease of -1.9% and a Q1 vs. Q3 momentum decline of -3%, hinting at a slow, but not catastrophic, waning of acute digital interest.
