Neferkahor
Egyptian pharaoh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neferkahor (died c. 2181 BC) may have been ancient Egyptian king of the Eighth Dynasty during the First Intermediate Period.[1] According to Egyptologists Jürgen Beckerath and Darrell Baker, he was the eleventh king of this dynasty.[2][1] His name is attested on the Abydos King List (number 50) and on a black steatite cylinder seal of unknown provenance.[3] Neferkahor is absent from the Turin canon as a large lacuna in this document affects most kings of the 7th/8th Dynasty.[4] No contemporary document or building with his name has been found.[5][6]
