Shepseskare Isi, also spelt Shepseskare, (in Greek known as Sisiris), is thought to have reigned from around 2426 BCE – 2419 BCE.
He is the most ephemeral ruler of this Dynasty and some Egyptologists such as Miroslav Verner have strongly argued that his reign lasted a few months at the most based upon the evidence of an unfinished royal pyramid at Abusir, whose base was barely completed, before it was abandoned.
However, both the Turin King List and Manetho suggest that he ruled Egypt for seven years.
Nefererfe (in Greek possibly identified with Cheris) is given a reign of some twenty years in Manetho, but the anthropological analysis of his mummy reveals him to have died in his early twenties, between twenty and twenty-three years, which evidence accords well for a king who died relatively soon into his reign.
