Nyuserre Ini was an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the sixth ruler of the Fifth Dynasty during the Old Kingdom period. He probably lived in the second half of the 25th century BCE and reigned for more than two decades. He was the younger son of Neferirkare Kakai and queen Khentkaus II, and the brother of the short-lived king Neferefre. Nyuserre was succeeded by Menkauhor Kaiu, who could have been his nephew and a son of Neferefre. Nyuserre built three pyramids for himself and his queens and completed a further three for his father, mother and brother, all in the necropolis of Abusir. He built a temple to the sun god Ra that was named Shesepibre or "Joy of the heart of Ra"; it is the largest such temple that survives from the Old Kingdom. He also completed the Nekhenre, the Sun temple of Userkaf in Abu Gorab, and the valley temple of Menkaure in the Giza necropolis. The state-sponsored funerary cult established at Nyuserre's death lasted until the Twelfth Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom. (Full article...)
Iry-Hor (and anyone else interested): thoughts and edits are welcome. There's no rush; this hasn't been scheduled at TFA yet. This batch finishes up blurbs for FACs promoted in 2017. - Dank (push to talk) 04:59, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Dank Good blurb once more, with only a minor detail that I suggest changing: Nyuserre did not entirely build the pyramids of his father, brother and mother, he rather completed them to varying degrees. I thus propose changing "and a further three for his father, mother and brother" to "and completed a further three for his father, mother and brother".Iry-Hor (talk) 08:47, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
