# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Amenhotep II became pharaoh around 1427 BC, stepping into the shadow of Thutmose III, whose military genius had carved out a vast kingdom. The son launched a few campaigns into Syria — enough to remind the region who held the reins — but his reign marked a turning point: the effective end of hostilities between Egypt and Mitanni, the two powers that had been locked in contest over Syrian territory. He ruled until 1401 BC, keeping the empire intact without his father's appetite for war. His consort Tiaa remained stripped of prestige throughout his life, only gaining recognition after their son Thutmose IV took the throne.
