Years: 2421BCE - 2410BCE
Nyuserre Ini, also spelt as Neuserre Izi or Niuserre Izi (in Greek known as Rathoris), was Pharaoh of Egypt during the Fifth dynasty, reigning from about 2445 BCE to about 2421 BCE.
His prenomen, Niuserre, means "Possessed of Re's Power."
He was the younger son of pharaoh Neferirkare Kakai by queen Khentkaus II, and brother of the short-lived Neferefre.
He is said in Manetho's Epitome to have reigned for forty-four years, but this data is considered suspect.
The Turin King List data for his reign is badly damaged and gives a figure which could be read as eleven to fourteen years or twenty-one to twenty-four years.
However, a reference to a Sed Feast in his solar temple at Abu Gurab may imply a reign of thirty years for Nysurre.
Military campaigns to Libya and Asia are mentioned in documents of this period, but we have no other evidence of the military activities of this ruler.
