	Neferefre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neferefre (also called Raneferef) was a Pharaoh of Egypt during the Fifth dynasty.
		While Neferefre is given a reign of some twenty years in Manetho's Epitome, this number is a substantial overestimation of his true reign length; the current academic view is that he enjoyed a very short rule based on the completely unfinished state of his intended pyramid.
		Neferefre was the son of king Neferirkare Kakai by queen Khentkaus II, and the elder brother of pharaoh Nyuserre Ini.

	The Pyramid of Neferefre - Crystalinks
		Finally, in the 1970s, the University of Prague did a systematic investigation, and by piecing together various clues, arrived at the conclusion that it was indeed Neferefre's pyramid, and that his mummy had in fact been buried in the pyramid.
		Clue One: Neferefre's mortuary temple is specifically mentioned in a papyrus fragment found in the mortuary temple of Neferirkare.
		We believe Neferefre probably died prior to completion of the first core level, so the remainder of the pyramid that was finished, as well as the mortuary temple were probably by his successors.

	The Ancient Egypt Site - The Pyramid of Neferefre at Abusir
		Based on the Abusir Papyri, it was longtime suspected that Neferefre's funerary monument had to be located at Abusir, but it took until the early 1970s for the remains of the unfinished pyramid complex which lay to the southwest of Neferirkare's to be identified as his.
		Neferefre's pyramid was started with a base of 65 metres square, approximately the size of Sahure's Pyramid.
		A beautiful 34cm high statuette of Neferefre was one of several statues found in the hypostyle hall of his mortuary complex at Abusir.

		Neferefre (sometimes known as Raneferef) was the eldest son of Neferirkare and the fourth or fifth king of Dynasty V (depending where the shadowy king Sheseskare fits in).
		Neferefre came to the throne at a young age and had barely begun to construct his pyramid complex next to that of his father, when he died after a reign of only a few years, probably in his early 20s.
		Neferefre's pyramid had a base measurement of 65m on each side but only the first step of the core had been completed at the king's death, looking like a low mastaba and now rising only a few metres above the desert.

		While some of these thought it might be Neferefre's pyramid, others attributed it to Shepseskare.
		Clue two: On a limestone block found in the village of Abusir, which probably came from Neferirkare's mortuary temple, we find that king along with his consort Khentkaues II and his eldest son, Neferre.
		The first two pyramids on a line with Heliopolis at Abusir are those of Sahure and Neferirkare, with this third unfinished pyramid being next.

	King's List: Neferefre
		Neferefre (Re is his beauty) was the first son of Neferirkare and Khentkaus II to become Pharaoh.
		It is sometimes suggested that Khentkaus II acted as a regent for a short period after the death of Neferirkare's death, and that Shepsekaf did not preceed Neferefre, but suceeded him.
		However, the body found in Neferefre's pyramid at Abusir, is that of a young man who died between the age of 20-23.

		Neferefre ("Beautiful is Re") is listed as ruling 2419-2416 B.C. However, Egyptologists acknowledge that this span is tentative, due to the fact that the Turin king list is fragmented.

	Egypt: Private Tomb of Ramose on the West Bank at Luxor
		We are fairly certain of this from a block found near Abusir depicting Neferirkare, his wife Khentkaus II and a young son who we interpret to be Neferefre, though on the block his name is spelled somewhat differently.
		The real problem is that it appears that after Neferirkare's death, his consort Khentkaus II acted as regent for a young king for a time and some believe that she may have even ruled Egypt alone for a short period.
		Yet the body we believe to be Neferefre, parts of which were found in his pyramid at Abusir, has been analyzed and a determination made that the young man died between the age of 20-23.

		The Dynasty V pyramid of Neferirkare is the second pyramid at the southern end of Abusir, slightly to the north-east of Neferefre's unfinished monument.
		It was from this record that the pyramid complex of Neferefre, Neferirkare's eldest son, was discovered, as well as details describing six sun-temples at Abu Ghurob.
		Construction of the Queen's pyramid was halted, possibly at Neferirkare's death, and was resumed in Year 10 of an un-named king according to a block from the pyramid, and she is then named as 'King's Mother Khentkawes'.

		It is not unlikely that Khentkaus II too was related to Khentkaus I. At least two children are believed to have been born of this marriage: Neferefre and Niuserre.
		The length of his reign is unfortunately lost on the Turin King-list and the Palermo-stone breaks of after having recorded a 5th counting, which, if the counting occurred every two years, would mean that Neferirkare at least ruled for 10 years.

		He was probably preceded by Shepseskare, an ephemeral king who appears to have claimed the throne after Neferirkare..

		Remains of large rose granite portcullises and a gabled roof were also uncovered, signs that the king had been buried in funerary apartments typical of royalty of the era.
		A layer of pebbles and mud mortar was placed on the surface of the pyramid, and his body was installed in its funerary apartments.
		Like other tombs at Abusir (and in the area of Memphis), Neferefre's was probably robbed a few centuries after the king's burial after the collapse of the Old Kingdom.

		More texts come to us from the temple of Neferefre which also preserved, almost intact, a number of cult objects and a group of royal statues made of wood.
		Neferefre's wife, Queen Khentkawes I also has a pyramid complex at Abusir, recently unearthed by Verner.

	Neferefre Did You Mean neferefre? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Not much is known about Neferefre, but it is well possible that he constructed a solar temple called Hetep-Re, but such a structure has never been discovered.
		Because of the premature death of Neferefre, his successor hastily completed work on Neferefre's pyramid at Abusir, which eventually acquired the form of a mastaba.
		Pieces of mummy wrappings and bones were also found, which were discovered to be those of a man in his early twenties, which would fit well for a king who died relatively soon into his reign.

		He was preceded by the ephemeral king Shepseskare.
		He built a solar-temple named Hetep-Re, which has not yet been discovered, and, at Abusir, started with the building of his own pyramid complex.
		This name is very likely a misinterpretation of the prenomen Neferefre.

	Neferefra
		También llegaron a esta conclusión por varios indicios: en el templo funerario de Neferirkare se cita que el de Neferefre estaba situado en Abusir, también por el bloque de caliza en el que aparecen Neferirkare, su esposa Khentkhaus II y su hijo, Neferefre, que asimismo fue encontrado en Abusir.
		Esta es la primera sala hipóstila conocida durante la época de los constructores de las pirámides y probablemente tenía alguna función religiosa que desconocemos, pero que se puede intuir, ya que los fragmentos encontrados del techo demuestran que era astronómico, con estrellas amarillas en un fondo azul marino.
		En esta sala se encontraron otros fragmentos de estatuas de Neferefre, así como figuras de madera de prisioneros enemigos, dos barcos de madera y figuras de diorita, junto con otros objetos de culto.

		Their dig confirmed this was the tomb of Neferefre, son of Neferirkare, who died unexpectedly when the first step at the core of the pyramid was under construction, and before the subterranean chambers had been cut.
		At that stage, the monument resembled a truncated pyramid: it was hastily completed and faced with limestone.
		A small limestone temple was erected in front of the east face of the tomb, later extended and modified by the Pharaoh Niuserre, Neferefre's younger brother and successor.

		It is swashed into the space between Sahure's Pyramid and Neferirkare's Pyramid, even to the point that the temple and portico are a strange l-shape, to avoid mastabas that were in place, and to allow NIuserre to usurp the valley temple foundations of this father, Neferefre.
		Niuserre is actually responsible for finishing a number of the pyramids at Abu Sir, including the pyramid of his father, Neferefre, his mother Khentkawes, and his brother Raneferef.
		North of the pyramid lies the tomb of Ptah-Cepses, a mastaba in poor condition but boasting the earliest known lotus-topped columns found so far.

		A small pyramid south of the pyramid of Neferirkare was probably intended as his satellite pyramid but works were halted, presumably at his death and the small pyramid was later on converted into a funerary monument for the queen-mother, Khentkaus II, with its own mortuary temple.
		Two small pyramids to the east and southeast of Neferefre's pyramid need further examination.
		Other mastabas were built to the east of where Niuserre would later build his pyramid, forcing him to modify the layout of his mortuary temple; while others yet were built due east of Neferefre's small and unfinished pyramid.
