About Solomon

Solomon, a religious figure who lived approximately from -1011 to -931, is ranked as the 131st most historically important figure by MIT's Pantheon project, primarily based on his foundational role in Abrahamic religions. He is traditionally credited with building the First Temple in Jerusalem and is known in religious texts for his immense wisdom and wealth.

Despite this high historical rank, Solomon's contemporary internet attention is relatively modest. In 2025, his Wikipedia page garnered 1.6 million annualized views. This level of attention places him in an 'overattention' category of +3x relative to his historical rank, suggesting that while his views are lower than many other major figures, the attention he does receive is disproportionately high given the overall distribution of historical influence captured by the HPI scale. For context, he receives significantly less traffic than modern political figures like George W. Bush (7.1M views), despite being ranked far higher in historical importance.

Further examination of his engagement reveals a slight cooling of interest; his 2025 annualized views showed a -2.0% year-over-year decline, and his momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025 dropped by -11%.
