The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was the younger brother of the Prussian minister, philosopher, and linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt.
- Humboldt's quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography, while his advocacy of long-term systematic geophysical measurement pioneered modern geomagnetic and meteorological monitoring.
- Humboldt and Carl Ritter are both regarded as the founders of modern geography as they established it as an independent scientific discipline.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Alexander von Humboldt article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 93 and blocks with 85: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
