Topic: Shepseskare Isi


  
  The Nile Pharaoh
Little to nothing is known about Shepseskare, except that he ruled between Neferirkare and Neferefre.
It is not known whether he built a pyramid or a solar-temple, although the unfinished pyramid located at Abusir between the pyramid of Sahure and the solar-temple of Userkaf, has, by some, been credited to him.
The only scenario that fits most of the various evidence is that Shepseskare may have been an older brother, but not by very much, but this still does not explain Neferefre's sole presence in the pictured in the block with his mother and father.

 Shepseskare Isi
The size of the unfinished Pyramid tells us also that Shepseskare 's reign was unexpectedly cut short.
However, both the Turin King List and Manetho suggest that he ruled Egypt for seven years.
The only artifacts of his reign are several clay sealings from Abusir, where the king may have been buried, and two cylinder seals, according to Verner(p.396).

 Egypt: Private Tomb of Ramose on the West Bank at Luxor
Most references today place an almost unknown king, Shepseskare next in line, but those same references will also often point out that he could have come after Neferefre's rule, who we are almost certain was a prominent son of Neferirkare.
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.
If Neferefre did rule just after Neferirkare, then some of the evidence simply doesn't fit.
