# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Djet succeeded Djer as the fourth pharaoh of the First Dynasty, ruling around 2980 BC in an era when Egypt's unified kingship was less than a century old. Known by several names — Wadjet, Wadj, Zet, Uadji — he may correspond to the Greek accounts' Uenephes or Atothis, though certainty fades across five millennia. His Horus name translates to "Horus Cobra" or "Serpent of Horus," linking him to the protective serpent goddess in a tradition that would outlast his dynasty by three thousand years. What survives of Djet is mostly absence: a name in king lists, a few inscriptions, the outline of a reign in an age when even the act of recording a king's existence was still being invented.
