userkare

userkare -lrb- also woserkare , meaning `` powerful is the soul of ra '' -rrb- was the second pharaoh of the sixth dynasty , reigning briefly , 1 to 5 years , in the late 24th to early 23rd century bc .
userkare 's relation to his predecessor teti and successor pepi i is unknown and his reign remains enigmatic .
although he is attested in historical sources , userkare is completely absent from the tomb of the egyptian officials who lived during his reign .
in addition , the egyptian priest manetho reports that userkare 's predecessor teti was murdered and userkare is often considered to have been a short-lived usurper .
alternatively , he may have been a regent who ruled during teti 's son childhood who later ascended the throne as pepi i.
