About Möngke Khan

Möngke Khan (1209–1259) was a significant political figure in the history of the Mongol Empire, ranking #797 in global historical influence according to the Pantheon project. As the fourth Great Khan, he was a grandson of Genghis Khan and the brother of Kublai Khan and Hulagu Khan.

Despite this historical weight, Möngke Khan's modern internet attention is relatively muted. His Wikipedia pageviews in 2025 totaled 296K, resulting in an Attention Gap of approximately 1x, indicating his online visibility aligns closely with his historical importance rank. This level of attention contrasts sharply with figures in the comparison pool, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower (#814 importance) who garnered 3.5M views, or even Alexander II of Russia (#853 importance) with 956K views. However, his interest shows positive growth, with a +14.5% year-over-year change in views.

Interestingly, his 2025 Momentum data shows a flat 0% change between Q1 and Q3, suggesting a stable, rather than surging or declining, level of contemporary interest over the year.
