# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Narmer ruled at the close of the 4th millennium BC, succeeding the Protodynastic king Ka. Most Egyptologists believe he and Menes were the same person, the unifier who founded the First Dynasty and turned a patchwork of territories into a single Egyptian state. Manetho recorded that Menes came from Thinis in what is now Sohag. His reach extended beyond the valley: Narmer left a stronger mark in Canaan than the rulers before or after him. Neithhotep is thought to have been either his queen or his daughter. His name may translate to "painful catfish" or "fierce catfish" — the hieroglyphs leave room for debate.
