Neferkauhor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neferkauhor was an eighth dynasty king of ancient Egypt during the First Intermediate Period. His name is attested on the Abydos King List as the penultimate king of the Old kingdom, but not on the Turin Canon where his name is lost in a lacunae--although his reign length is preserved here. Neferkauhor is by far the most well attested of all early First Intermediate Period kings, because he left behind the Koptos Decree stela which names his Vizier in Upper Egypt, a certain Shemay. The German scholar Jürgen von Beckerath equates him with the second last 8th dynasty ruler given in the Old Kingdom who is assigned a brief reign length of 2 years, 1 month and 1 day.[1]
