Shepseskaf in Wikipedia
Shepseskaf was a son of Menkaure who succeeded his father on
the throne. Shepseskaf's name means "His Soul is Noble."[2]
He was likely the last Egyptian Pharaoh of the Fourth
dynasty if he was not succeeded by a certain unknown ruler
named Djedefptah as recorded in some Egyptian literature
and, indirectly, by the Turin Canon. No ruler named
Djedefptah is recorded in contemporary documents such as
royal monuments or private tombs in the Old Kingdom
cemeteries of Giza and Saqqara which date to this period.[3]
Palace officials who served in the interval between the 4th
and 5th dynasties of Egypt such as the long-lived palace
courtier Netry-nesut-pu explicitly lists this sequence of
Old Kingdom kings under whom he served under in his tomb:
Radjedef → Khafre → Menkaure → Shepseskaf, and the first
three 5th dynasty kings namely Userkaf, Sahure and
Neferirkare.[4] Finally,
" No names of estates of the period [which are]
compounded with royal names make mention of any other kings
than these, nor do the names of...royal grandchildren, who
often bore the name of a royal ancestor as a component of
their own [name]."[5] "
The Turin Canon ascribes Shepseskaf a rule of four years and
his anonymous 4th dynasty successor-presumably a reference
to Djedefptah-a reign of two years. In contrast, Manetho's
King List explicitly gives Shepseskaf a reign of seven years
which may be a combination of the 4 + 2 (= 6) full year
figures noted in the Turin Kinglist for the last two kings
of the Fourth Dynasty plus a significant monthly fraction.
Manetho's King List does, however, also note the existence
of the unknown and possibly fictitious ruler Djedefptah-
called Thampthis in his records-who is ascribed a reign of
nine years.
Shepseskaf broke with the Fourth Dynasty tradition of
constructing large pyramid tombs by choosing to construct
his tomb as a great mastaba at Saqqara, now known as
Mastabat Fara'un. In contrast, his three immediate
predecessors built 2 pyramids of Giza and one in Abu-Rawash
while Sneferu, the founder of the fourth dynasty, alone
constructed three pyramids in his reign most notably, the
Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Shepseskaf may have
designed a smaller tomb for himself since he was faced with
the arduous task of completing his father's pyramid at Giza
while simultaneously building his own tomb-all this within
his short reign.[6]
