Talk:Khafre

message: →  Khafre like Encarta and EB
Does anyone know why the name "Kefren" is no longer used, in favour of Khafra? When I went to Egypt 12 years ago, everyone told me the pyramid was Kefren's pyramid. Very interested to know more!

Karlie Davidson, this could remain in the article if you supplied cites, please. -- llywrch 01:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi, the table to the right of the page states that Khafra reigned from 2650 BCE to 2480 BCE! I don't know how to edit this and am finding conflicting data on when he did actually reign. It looks like 2558 - 2532 BCE as this fits him nicely between Djedefre and Menkaura. Any ideas? --Kylemew 15:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: As it says in the section heading. I think Khafre is actually a bit more common in books and journals. Dougweller (talk) 19:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why is this article title spelled 'Khafra' while most of the usage in the article is 'Khafre'? 

message: I removed this from the article
"His name, Khaf-Ra, means "Appearing like Ra" for some translators and "rise Ra!" for others; the meaning is most probably the first, according to the hieroglyphic representing his name, which includes that crown. In ancient time his name was read out Ra-chaf to honor the supreme god Ra."
because it needs a proper source. A. Parrot (talk) 22:37, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Khafra →  – This article has stayed at this title, seemingly through inertia, ever since it was moved here from "Chephren" in 2004. But as you can see in Google Ngrams, "Khafra" has never been the common name. "Chephren" was the most widely used term until the mid-1990s, when (driven, I suspect, by the Sphinx controversy of the time) "Khafre" rocketed to the dominant position it has had ever since. Moreover, WP's other articles on kings whose names incorporate that of Ra generally render it as "re", e.g., Sahure, Nyuserre Ini, and Khafre's own brother Djedefre and son Menkaure. A.
