Not sure, I read that it might just as well be Shepseskaf. Iry-Hor ( talk) 16:43, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I have the impression that somebody forgot that the Pyramids of the dynasty were 3 for Sneferu alone, and 1 for each of his successors before Shepseskaf broke with the tradition of building pyramids.
There is a reference that Shepseskafs' ancestors only built 2+1 pyramids. This is certainly incorrect. Sikader ( talk) 09:06, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I just got the brainwave that the reconstruction of Shepseskaf's unique mastaba architecture very much resembles the shape of the sarcophagus hieroglyph in the ancient name for the mastaba 'The purified pyramid', and there might actually be a real logic behind that name: a much simpler, back to basic (coffin) shape compared to the pyramid's of the direct predecessors. Yet, perhaps also given by the notion that Shepseskaf may not have been from royal origin, and with this funerary project expresses a more humble approach comparing himself to his royal predecessors.
We see only the conventional Egyptological pronunciation here. I would have expected at least the proper Egyptian transliteration and probably a rendering of the original hieroglyphs, if not the (reconstructed) true transcription - especially in a featured article. 87.126.21.225 ( talk) 18:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
