Menkauhor was probably the seventh ruler of Egypt's 5th Dynasty.
Menkauhor's pyramid has not been positively identified, but if the assumption that his pyramid is to be located at Dashur is correct, this would imply a departure from Abusir.
Otherwise, Menkauhor is also attested to by a small alabaster statue that is now located in the Egyptian museum in Cairo and by a relief of Tjutju adoring King Menkauhor and other divinities.

Lehner's argument seems to be that a 12th Dynasty priest of the funerary cult of Merikare was found interred in the pyramid.
Maragioglio and Rinaldi noted in their arguments for the pyramid belonging to Menkauhor that this was a trait of 5th Dynasty pyramids.
The existence of Menkauhor's pyramid is known from text, and all of the other pyramids of the 5th Dynasty kings have been mostly positively identified.

The Sphinx’s head is adorned with a curious crown identical to those worn by the pharaohs in pictures I have seen, and they say it is quite probable that it too was commissioned by Cheops.

Satellites could help solve some of the riddles.
It is reasonable to suppose that, despite some 200 years of archaeological explorations, some pyramids remain to be discovered in the area, since the tombs of at least three kings — Menkauhor (of the fifth dynasty), Neferkare (seventh to eighth dynasty), and Ity (ninth to tenth dynasty) — have never been found.
If we can find these pyramids in their original state, the purpose and manner of construction and other lingering questions might be answered.
