Page "Neferirkare Kakai" Paragraph 5

Little is known about his reign.

Manetho's Kingslist assigns Neferirkare a reign of 20 years but verso 5 of the damaged Palermo Stone preserves the Year of his 5th Cattle Count ( Year 9 on a biannual count ).

His following years were lost in the missing portion of the document.

The Czech Egyptologist Miroslav Verner maintains, however, that it cannot have been as long as 20 years due to the unfinished state of Neferirkare's Abusir pyramid complex.
