The final ruler of the IV dynasty. Shepskaf succeeded his father in leading Egypt's government. During his more than four-year reign, he constructed the "Pharaoh's Mastaba," a rectangular coffin-shaped tomb south of Saqqara. and in contrast to his forefathers' tradition of erecting a pyramid for him, his covenant was marked by the growing power of the sun's priests. It is a transgression of the priests' authority to be associated with the sun cult.
Fact About King Shepseskaf
Unlike his pyramid-builders ancestors, when King Shabas Kafe took over, The Sixth and Final King of the Fourth Family, the throne of Egypt after his father, Mankaur, He did not pay tribute to himself a pyramid like his father on the Giza Plateau, but returned to his ancestral place near Saqqara, He created for himself a unique cemetery in her door, where he built himself a huge terrace, Another sarcophagus was built on top of it in the form of a coffin, at the same time, This cemetery has made all the accessories that follow the pyramid, so, the people of Dahshur know this construction as the "Pharaoh Matte."
It is apparent in the explanation that the pyramid was built to be a cemetery of the King, and this form was not arbitrary, but rather a symbol of the worship of the Sun, and in the establishment of the pyramid as a recognition of the Sun's divinity and great sovereignty, and the placement of the deceased under its protection to reach the other world.
From the beginning of the reign of King III of the Fourth Dynasty, he entered into the installation of the name of King Ra, i.e. the Sun. And we noted that at the beginning of the Fifth Dynasty, the kings of this family considered themselves the children of "Ra" directly and his successors to the throne, We knew the status of that God in them and his influence on them, and we were surprised to see three kings whose names we did not find in the composition of the word "ra" as their ancestors, They are "Shabas Kaaf", "Khantkaus" and "Secret Kaev", which indicates that these kings have disassociated themselves from the Sun Eye faith that occupied an excellent house at the time, What explains is Shabas Kafil's attitude to his grave and the abstinence of his predecessors in its construction.
The Turin diary states that Shabs Kafi has been sentenced for four years, and that his unnamed successor in the fourth family, "presumably Dagdaf Bafta", has been sentenced for only two years. Conversely, Manito's list explicitly gives Kafi a seven-year sentence
After Shabas Kaev's reign, historians mentioned three kings, but the monuments revealed so far did not bring the name of one of them, so the end of this family remained vague and unknown until 1932, when the Egyptian University's excavation mission in the Giza pyramid area revealed the fourth pyramid in which the Queen "betrayed Kaus".
