nomen or birth name

Menkauhor Kaiu, (in Greek known as Menkeris), was Pharaoh in Egypt during the Fifth dynasty. The Turin King List assigns him 8 years of rule. His pyramid has not been discovered but contemporary records indicate it was either located at Dahshur or Saqqara, rather than Abusir. He was the last pharaoh to build a sun temple. He is, historically, the second most obscure ruler after the ephemeral Shepseskare, although several references from royal officials, one major quarry inscription at Wadi Maghara in the Sinai, a single seal and a small alabaster statue prove his existence beyond doubt.
