# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Menkaure ruled Egypt's Fourth Dynasty around 2550–2503 BC, almost certainly succeeding Khafre despite later confusion in the historical record. Greek writers knew him as Mykerinos; the Roman form became Mycerinus. He commissioned the third pyramid at Giza, smaller than his predecessors' monuments but accompanied by something new: sculpted triads showing the king standing with the goddess Hathor and deities representing different regions of his kingdom. The statues survived where much else did not, turning a pharaoh's political theology into stone that would outlast the dynasty itself.
