Neferkaure

Neferkaure (died c. 2163 BC) was a king of ancient Egypt during the First Intermediate Period.

[1] This opinion is shared by the Egyptologists Jürgen Beckerath, Thomas Schneider, and Darell Baker.

Neferkaure is named on the 54th entry of the Abydos King List, a king list redacted some 900 years after the First Intermediate Period during the reign of Seti I. Neferkaure's name is lost in a lacuna of the Turin canon affecting column 5, line 11 of the document.

[4] One of the two existing fragments of this decree was given by Edward Harkness to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it is now on display in Gallery 103.

[2][4][8] The decree is addressed to the then governor of Upper Egypt, Shemay, and requires that fixed amounts of offerings be given at regular intervals to the god Min and then possibly to a statue of the king.
