# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Huni closed the Third Dynasty around 2613 BC after what the Turin king list records as a 24-year reign. His place at the dynasty's end is secure, but the succession around him remains blurred — scholars argue over whether he fathered and directly preceded Sneferu, and which name the historian Manetho used for him centuries later (likely Aches, one theory holds). The confusion isn't from obscurity: Egyptian traditions carried his memory forward through the ages. What's strange is how little came with it — almost no documents, objects, or monuments from his time made it through, leaving later generations to remember a king they could barely prove existed.
