Hoved af Djedefre fra Abu Rawash.

Den Egyptiske farao Djedefre (eller Radjedef) var efterfølgeren og søn af Khufu. Djedefres moder er endnu ukendt. Hans navn betyder "Udholden ligesom Re."[1] Djedefre var den første farao til at benytte titlen Søn af Ra som en del af hans royale skytsånd, hvilket bliver set som en indikation af det voksende popularitet af solens gud Re.

Han giftede sig med sin (halv-) søster Hetepheres II, hvilket måske har været nødvendigt for at legalisere hans krav på tronen hvis hans moder var en af Khufus mindre betydelige koner. Han havde også en anden kone, Khentetka med hvem han havde (mindst) tre sønner, Setka, Baka og Hernet, og en datter, Neferhetepes.[2] Disse børns identitet er fundet på fragmenter fra statuer, fundet i forberedelses templet nær Djedefres pyramide. Utallige fragmenter af Khentetka var fundet i templet i Abu Rawash.[3] Udgravninger af et fransk hold ledt af Michel Valloggia har tilføjet en anden datter, Hetepheres, og endnu en søn, Nikaudjedefre, til listen.

Regerings længde[redigér | rediger kildetekst]

Ifølge Turin konge listen regerede han i otte år, but the highest known year referred to during this reign appears to be the Year of his 11th cattle count. The Year of the 11th count of Djedefre was found written on the underside of one of the massive roofing-block beams which covered Khufu's southern boat-pits by Egyptian work crews.[4] Miroslav Verner notes that in the work crew's mason marks and inscriptions, "either Djedefra's throne name or his Golden Horus name occur exclusively."[5] Verner writes that the current academic opinion regarding the attribution of this date to Djedefre is disputed among Egyptologists: Rainer Stadelman, Vassil Dobrev, Peter Janosi favour dating it to Djedefre whereas Wolfgang Helck, Anthony Spalinger, Jean Vercoutter and W.S. Smith attribute this date to Khufu instead on the assumption "that the ceiling block with the date had been brought to the building site of the boat pit already in Khufu's time and placed in position [only] as late as during the burial of the funerary boat in Djedefra's time.[6] The German scholar Dieter Arnold, in a 1981 MDAIK paper noted that the marks and inscriptions of the blocks from Khufu's boat pit seem to form a coherent collection relating to the different stages of the same building project realised by Djedefra's crews.[7] Verner stresses that such marks and inscriptions usually pertained to the breaking of the blocks in the quarry, their transportation, their storage and manipulation in the building site itself.[8]

"In this context, the attribution of just a single inscription--and what is more, the only one with a date--on all the blocks from the boat pit to somebody other than Djedefra does not seem very plausible."[9]

Verner also notes that the French-Swiss team excavating Djedefra's pyramid have discovered that this king's pyramid was actually finished in his reign. According to Vallogia, Djedefra's pyramid largely made use of a natural rock promontory which represented circa 45 % of its core; the side of the pyramid was 200 cubits long and its height was 125 cubits.[10] The original volume of the monument of Djedefra, hence, approximately equalled that of Menkaura's own pyramid.[11] Therefore, the argument that Djedefra short reign because his pyramid was unfinished is somewhat discredited.[12] This means that Djedefre likely ruled Egypt for a minimum of eleven years if the cattle count was annual or 21 years if it was biannual; Verner, himself, supports the shorter 11 year figure and notes that "the relatively few monuments and records let by Djedefra do not seem to favour a very long reign" for this king.[13]

Pyramide kompleks[redigér | rediger kildetekst]

Hetepheres II som en sfinks fra Abu Rawash.

Han fortsatte mod nord ved at bygge hans (nu ødelagte) pyramide nær Abu Rawash, omkring 8 km nord fra Giza. Det er den nordligste del af Memphis necropolis.

Some believe that the sphinx of his wife, Hetepheres II, was the first sphinx created. It was part of Djedefre's pyramid complex at Abu Rawash. In 2004, evidence that Djedefre may have been responsible for the building of the Sphinx at Giza in the image of his father was reported by the French Egyptologist Vassil Dobrev.

Djedefres ødelagte pyramide der ligger ved Abu Rawash.

While Egyptologists previously assumed that his pyramid at the heavily denuded site of Abu Roash--some 5 kilometres north of Giza--was unfinished upon his death, more recent excavations from 1995 to 2005 have established that it was indeed completed.[14] The most recent evidence rather indicates that his pyramid complex was extensively plundered in later periods while "the king's statues [were] smashed as late as the 2nd century AD."[15]

Due to the poor condition of Abu Rawash, only small traces of his mortuary complex have been found; his pyramid causeway proved to run from north to south rather than the more conventional east to west while no valley temple has been found.[16] Only the rough ground plan of his mud-brick mortuary temple was traced--with some difficulty--"in the usual place on the east face of the pyramid."[17]
