# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Pepi II Neferkare became king of Egypt's Sixth Dynasty at age six in 2284 BC, after Nemtyemsaf I's death. His name means "Beautiful is the Ka of Re." The reign stretched improbably long: ancient sources claim 90 to 94 years, though the last dated evidence comes from his 62nd year. During those decades, regional governors—nomarchs—accumulated power while the throne's grip weakened, and by the time it ended they were raiding each other's lands like rival warlords. Within a couple of years of Pepi II's death, the Old Kingdom collapsed entirely, dissolving into the First Intermediate Period that ran from the Seventh through Tenth Dynasties.
