Заголовок сообщения: | Decree of Shepseskaf from the Pyramid Temple of Menkaure at |
This is the earliest decree to survive from the Old Kingdom. Dated to the first year of Shepseskaf’s reign, it suggests that it was set up at least partly as part of his pious completion of the earlier temple—it would appear that Menkaure died before the complex was complete and that Shepseskaf finished off the temple in brick rather than stone for the sake of speed (Reisner 1931: 29–31). It is just possible that this decree is a later copy of an original document, suggested by the prominence of the cartouche name at the top of the decree, which is rather strange for the Old Kingdom. However, its rather unusual structure perhaps argues for an early date for the original, before the more established forms had evolved. The fragments are now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (Temp. no. 26.2.21.18). Horus Shepseskhet, the year after the first occasion of the count of the cattle and herds … which was done in the presence of the king himself. The king of Upper and Lower Egypt Shepseskaf.
