About this person
Tiu ruled during Egypt's First Dynasty, sometime between 3150 and 2890 BCE, in an era when the unified kingdom was still new. His reign was deemed significant enough to be recorded on a stele created roughly a thousand years later, during the Fifth Dynasty, alongside other early monarchs and the notable events that marked their years in power. That stele, broken into seven fragments over millennia, includes the piece now held in Palermo - the stone that carries forward what little the ancient scribes thought worth remembering. The annals offer no narrative, only the fact of his kingship and its place in the sequence. What he did, who he was beyond the carved entry, the stone does not say.
