	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Neferirkare Kakai
		Neferirkare Kakai was the third Pharaoh of Egypt during the Fifth dynasty.
		The Pyramid of Neferirkare Kakai (burial place) of the king was initially designed as a 6-step pyramid 52m high, but later it was extended to the form of a typical pyramid and it reached a height of 72m.
		Neferirkare was probably the brother of pharaoh Sahure and son of pharaoh Userkaf, the founder of the dynasty.

	Egypt: Pyramid of Neferirkare at Abusir
		Neferirkare's pyramid at Abusir was the largest structure in the region, but was probably never finished.
		Because of the ruined condition exposing the core steps of Neferirkare' pyramid, Borchardt stated it presented an ideal setting in which to study the construction techniques used to build the pyramids and Lepsius based his theory of inclined accretion layers on his study of this pyramid.
		It should be noted that the structure on the south side of Neferirkare's pyramid, built mostly of the discarded limestone of his pyramid, is probably the pyramid of Khentkaues II.

	Abu Sir. Pyramid of Neferirkare
		Neferirkare was a pharaoh of the 5th Dynasty and ruled for 21 years, from 2475 until 2455 BCE.
		Neferirkare was the brother of Sahure, and succeeded him as pharaoh.
		Egypt under Neferirkare was a poorer country than under the 4th Dynasty, so his plans for a pyramid 70 metres high must have been on the brink of what his treasury could finance.

	The Ancient Egypt Site - The Pyramid of Neferirkare at Abusir
		Although Neferirkare was probably already advanced in years when he succeeded Sahure, he set out to build a pyramid that was larger than his brother's.
		Graffiti found on a block of the pyramid of Khentkaus II suggest that work on the pyramid that she would eventually take, was paused in the 10th year of an unnamed king.
		It is not unlikely that this pyramid was originally intended as satellite pyramid of Neferirkare's complex and that it was left incomplete when the king passed away, only to be converted into a funerary monument for his queen at a later time.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Old Kingdom : Dynasty 5 : Neferirkare
		Neferirkare was the second son of Khentkawes I to rule Egypt.
		The funerary cult to Neferirkare was still in place in the Sixth Dynasty, based on seals and papyrus found at his mortuary temple in Abu Sir.
		In addition, Neferirkare was the first pharaoh to give himself two names inside his cartouche -- previous kings had simply had their praenomen in the cartouche, the name we are most familiar with.

		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.
		Neferirkare was the first ruler to write his name in a double cartouche, one with his prenomen Kakai, and the other with a 'sa-Re' ('son of Re') name, Neferirkare, a custom which was then followed by all Egyptian kings.
		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'.

	Neferirkare
		Neferirkare ("beautiful is the Soul of Re") was the first king to have his birth-name (Kakai) made part of the official titulary adding a second cartouche, a custom maintained by later Pharaohs.
		Over 300 scraps of papyrus were discovered in Neferirkare´s pyramid complex in 1893.
		The ink written documents are the earliest known example of hieratic script, a cursive form of hieroglyphics.The archive details the complex administration of the temple, including rotas for all temple duties, records of monthly inspections and audits, and maintenance records.

		Neferirkare prevented any ill consequences by saying that the touch was a honour.
		Neferirkare sent for his own physicians who were, however, unable to save the vizier.
		King Neferirkare granted him the honour of kissing the king's foot, instead of the ground in front of it, as other courtiers did.

		Dominating the view north is the much larger Pyramid of Neferirkare, the third ruler of the V Dynasty, who strove to outdo his predecessor, Sahure.
		Although too dangerous to climb, its summit commands a view of the entire pyramid field, from the three at Giza and the four at Saqqara to the Red and Bent pyramids at Dahshur, and even the Collapsed Pyramid of Maidum on the distant horizon.
		The valley temple and grand causeway of Neferirkare's Pyramid were later usurped to serve the Pyramid of Nyuserre, further north.

		Niuserre w as the second son of Neferirkare and Khentkawes II and while he was married to a women names Reput-nebu (a statue of her was found in eh pyramid complex), they had no known children.
		His pyramid complex, however, is located in Abu Sir between the pyramids of Sahure and Neferirkare.
		This may have been mere expedience on his part -- it was easier to use the existing structure than build a new one; or it may have been a problem with finding an appropriate place to build his own, and he was forced to use the existing one.

	Egyptian History - Dr. Zahi Hawass
		Neferirkare's pyramid complex is remarkable because here Egyptologists discovered the extremely valuable Abusir papyri.
		Beginning in the reign of Neferirkare and through to the time of Pepi II in Dynasty VI, the papyri document temple activities.
		Monthly duty rosters outline the tasks that must be performed on a daily basis; other rosters detail duties for special occasions, such as feasts, and lists of temple personnel document their responsibilities in the cult of the king.

	Abusir & Abu Gurab
		At least four fifth-dynasty pharaohs (Sahure, Neferirkare, Neferefre, and Neweserre) chose Abusir as the location for their funerary monuments.
		In addition to these four pyramids, there was an unfinished complex at the northeastern end of the site that may have belonged to Neferirkare's ephemeral successor, Shepseskare.
		In 1838, the pyramids of Sahure, Neferirkare, and Neweserra were first surveyed and partially cleared by John Perring, who reached the burial chamber of Sahura, finding only part of a basalt sarcophagus.

	Dynasty V
		Queen Khentkawes, the last ruler of Dynasty IV is identified in her mastaba at Giza as the "mother of the two kings of Upper and Lower Egypt".
		Therefore it is believed that probably she was the mother of Sahure and Neferirkare (the brothers).
		What did kings from Userkhaf through Menkauhor build that sets the pattern for Dynasty V? The Papyrus Westcar story about the Dynasty V kings states that they were born to the wife of a priest of the sun god, Re as a result of her union with the sun god.

	Egypt: The Pyramid Complex of Niuserre at Abusir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Were he to have built his pyramid on the basic axis established at Abusir, it would have been located deep in the desert and its building costs would have been excessive.
		About the pyramid is a limestone paved courtyard which is narrower on the south side (due to Neferirkare's mortuary temple) then on the north side.
		Some experts believe that Niuserre may have also usurped Neferirkare's valley temple (they state this as a fact), as it is built upon a foundation that Neferirkare originally constructed, and the causeway that leads to Niuserre's mortuary temple also leads to Neferirkare's temple.

		Known as "The places of Niuserre are enduring", some experts believe that Niuserre may have also usurped Neferirkare's valley temple, as it is built on the foundations of Neferirkare's temple.

	Sahure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		He was a son of queen Khentkaus I, who, in her tomb at Giza, is said to have been the "mother of two kings".
		Sahure's successor to the throne was not his eldest son and intended heir, Netjerirenre, but rather Neferirkare Kakai whose origins are unknown.
		If true, this would be evidence that Neferirkare usurped the throne at the expense of his nephew Netjerirenre, who was apparently still a child at Sahure's death.

	Egypt: Neferirkare Kakai, Third King of the Old Kingdom 5th Dynasty
		Much more is known about Neferirkare's brother, Sahure, who ruled Egypt just prior to Neferirkare, and to Shepseskare, who ruled just after him.
		He was probably the son of Userkaf, the first king of the 5th Dynasty, and a Queen Khntkawes, who's pyramid is situated next to Neferirkara's at Abusir.
		However, Neferirkare's pyramid complex remained unfinished, and its valley temple and causeway were later incorporated by Nyuserra into his own pyramid complex.

		Niuserre was the sixth king of Dynasty V and built his pyramid complex at Abusir, to the north-east and very close to that of his father Neferirkare.
		It was probably Niuserre who completed the mortuary monuments of his father Neferirkare, his mother Queen Khentkawes and his brother Neferefre.
		During Dynasty XII the high base of the upper half of the causeway was used to construct tombs of the priests of Niuserre's mortuary cult, which Borchardt investigated during his excavations.

		His prenomen, Niuserre, means "Possessed of Re's Power." Niuserre was the younger son of pharaoh Neferirkare Kakai by Queen Khentkaus II, and the brother of the short-lived king Neferefre.
		In Manetho's Epitome, he is said to have reigned for 44 years but this data is considered suspect.
		Nyuserre's burial place is a pyramid at Abusir located between those of pharaohs Sahure and Neferirkare Kakai.

		The mother of Neferirkare is known from archaeology to be Khentkaues, so Reddjetet seems to be an alternate but otherwise unattested name for this queen.
		The wife of the youngest son Neferirkare is also called Khentkaues.
		Since he gained the succession it stands to reason that he did so by siring his two sons, Nefer-ef-re/Ranefer and Ny-user-re upon his mother.

	Guardian's Abu Sir
		Planned perhaps as a stepped pyramid, evidence suggests that the steps were probably filled and so this too was most likely to be a "true" pyramid.
		This pyramid was built last and precariously placed in between the pyramids of Sahure and Neferirkare.
		Shepseskare probably ruled for only a short duration after the reign of Raneferef, but little is known about this king or the unfinished pyramid which may have belonged to him.

		With the reign of Niuserre, the solar-cult appears to have come to its summit.
		In stead of building his own valley temple, he had his pyramid complex connected to the valley temple of Neferirkare.
