description: "Hor-Aha ruled Egypt around 3085 BC as either the second pharaoh of the First Dynasty or — depending on who's counting — the first, possibly the man behind the name Menes. The confusion is the point: this far back, even the order of kings blurs."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Hor-Aha lived in the 31st century BC, when Egypt's recorded history was just beginning to crystallize. Most Egyptologists place him as the second pharaoh of the First Dynasty, but others argue he was actually the first — the figure later remembered as Menes, the legendary unifier of Upper and Lower Egypt. The reign is thought to have been long, though the specifics dissolve into the murk of deep time. What survives is a name and the faint outline of rule at the very edge of what can be known.
