Biography[]

Men-Ta was a Pharaoh who ruled over Ancient Egypt some two-thousand years ago. Men-Ta and his wife bore a son, Kah-to-Bey, though the baby's mother died in childbirth. Men-Ta doted on Kah-to-Bey, and committed his entire life towards raising him. When Kah-to-Bey came of age, Men-Ta pronounced him as his heir to the throne of Egypt. This angered Men-Ta's younger brother, Almen-Ta, who was next in line to succeed him. Almen-Ta led a revolt against Men-Ta and raided the Pharaoh's throne room with his soldiers. Men-Ta instructed his most loyal slave, Prem, to take Kah-to-Bey away from the city and take guardianship over him. Prem obeyed, and helped Kah-to-Bey escape the battle. Men-Ta was stabbed to death by one of his traitorous brother's soldiers. [1]
