neferkare neby

neferkare neby -lrb- also neferkare iii -rrb- was an ancient egyptian pharaoh of the 7th/8th dynasty during the early first intermediate period -lrb- 2181 -- 2055 bc -rrb- .
according to egyptologists jürgen von beckerath and darell baker , he was the fourth king of seventh dynasty , as he appears as the fourth king in the abydos king list within the list of kings assigned to this dynasty .
neferkare neby 's name is clearly readable on the abydos king list -lrb- number 43 -rrb- , and unlike most kings of this period , is attested by a further two contemporary sources .
indeed , neferkare neby 's name appears on the false door at ankhesenpepi ii 's tomb , and is also inscribed on her sarcophagus .
these attestations show that neferkare neby 's mother was apparently queen ankhesenpepi ii , which would presumably make his father pepi ii neferkare , the last great pharaoh of the old kingdom of egypt .
the stele of ankhesenpepi ii records that neferkare neby begun the construction of a pyramid , possibly at saqqara and named '' '' , that is djedankh neferkare neby and which means `` neferkare neby is enduring of life '' .
the location of the pyramid is unknown and it most probably never significantly entered the building stage .
like many kings of the 7th/8th dynasty , neferkare neby is absent from the turin canon as a large lacuna affects the location where his name would have been listed .
