# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Usermaatre Meryamun Ramesses III ruled from 26 March 1186 to 15 April 1155 BC, presiding over Egypt as invasions and economic trouble drained the kingdom's strength. He earned the label "warrior Pharaoh" by defeating the Sea Peoples, raiders who had wrecked other civilizations, buying Egypt time even as the damage hollowed out what remained. He built one of western Thebes' largest mortuary temples at Medinet Habu. His secondary wife Tiye and her son Pentawere led the Harem conspiracy that killed him, triggering a succession crisis that sped Egypt's unraveling. His designated heir Ramesses IV took the throne, though other sons would rule later, each inheriting less than the one before.
