# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Menpehtyre Ramesses I took the throne in the late 1290s BC, the timeline most often given as 1292–1290 BC or 1295–1294 BC. He was the first pharaoh of Egypt's 19th Dynasty, arriving after Horemheb had steadied the kingdom through the closing years of the 18th. Ramesses I's reign was brief — too short to leave much of his own mark — but it bridged one era to another. His son Seti I and grandson Ramesses II would go on to command the dynasty's power and memory, making his brief tenure less a story in itself than the hinge on which Egypt's next great age turned.
