Topic: Neferirkare Kakai


  
  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.
Neferirkare also used his nomen, his birth name, in his cartouche and was commonly written as 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.

 The Nile Pharaoh
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.
His mother and father were probably Neferirkare and Queen Khentkaus II, and from a fragment of a statue in his valley temple, we believe that he was married to Reput-Nebu.

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's own sun temple had been completed within his lifetime and seems to have been the largest of these structures to the north of Abusir, but so far has not been found.
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.

 Egypt: Neferirkare Kakai, Third King of the Old Kingdom 5th Dynasty
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.
He was the third king of the Old Kingdom 5th dynasty, ruling from about 2477 until 2467 BC, obviously a very short reign, though Egyptologists argue both the dates for his reign as well as the length of his reign.

 Neferirkara-Kakai
Se conserva un texto del reinado de Neferirkare que recoge un decreto de inmunidad fiscal y exención de todas las prestaciones debidas al rey por los sacerdotes para un pequeño templo de Abidos (Osiris-Jentamentiu), lo que hace suponer que templos mayores y más importantes sin duda ya disfrutarían de ella.
Neferirkare es el primer faraón que introduce de forma definitiva el título de hijo de Ra en su titulatura real, a pesar de que este título ya empezó a usarse durante la IV Dinastía, además de un segundo cartucho con el nombre de nacimiento del rey.
Neferirkare es el segundo faraón que construye su monumento en dicha localización, tras su hermano Sahure.

Other things treated are the transfer of revenue to Kakai's pyramid estate, and the offerings made to his statues and to that of the Queen-mother Khantkawes.
So rare are such documents at this period that these are of the utmost value, but intensive study will be required to decipher their difficult handwriting and to determine their exact contents.
Of these, the pyramid of Neferirkare' was left unfinished and the lower half of its causeway was adapted by Niuserre' to his own purposes.

 The Pyramid of Neferirkare - Crystalinks
The pyramid was built without a valley temple or causeway, and this certainly influenced the mortuary temple associated with the pyramid, which was built in stages and enlarged to accommodate storage and some functions of a valley temple.
Actually, the oldest parts of the temple were probably built after the death of Neferirkare, by one of his successors.
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.

It is believed that he was father of kings Sahure and Neferirkare, succeeding him on the throne.
lder brother of Neferirkare, son of queen Khentkawes I and presumably Weserkare – the founder of the dynasty.

 Nyuserre Ini Information
His prenomen, Niuserre, means "Possessed of Re's Power." He was the younger son of pharaoh Neferirkare Kakai by queen Khentkaus II, and brother of the short-lived 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.

 Sahure
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.

 Part IV: Japheth/Put and the Old Kingdom
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.
