No one said that though.
I'm also pointing out that in history, that is the written record of the past, he is very unknown.

It is the centennial of his discovery though. Sure the forgotten son of Akenaten was all but lost to history until his discovery. He is the most famous pharaoh in the last century's history.
We don't need to be unnecessarily pedantic. Anyone being generous in understanding, gets it.

I was giving some insight into how strange it is that we consider perhaps the least famous pharaoh the most famous, which I think is quite interesting. At the same time as I underline why we see him as famous.
You are the one responding trying to correct something that was already showing both sides, by arguing for a statement no one made. So who is trying to be pedantic here?
