Djedkare Isesi, (in Greek known as Tankeris[citation needed]), was Pharaoh of Egypt during the Fifth dynasty. He is ascribed a relatively long reign of 28 Years from the Turin Canon though some Egyptologists believe this is an error for 38 Years. Manetho ascribes him a reign of 44 Years while the archaeological evidence suggests that his reign exceeded 32 Years.
He did not, as had been customary for his dynasty, build his own sun temple, but did build his pyramid at Saqqara instead of Abusir. This is believed to be a sign that Osiris had now replaced the sun-god Ra as the most popular god. Titles were now thought to hold magical power; their inflation believed to be a sign of a gradual decentralization of power. An entire series of dated administrative papyri from Djedkare's reign, (the Prisse Papyrus at the Louvre, authored by Ptah-hotep), was discovered in Neferirkare's mortuary temple. According to Miroslav Verner, Djedkare's highest Year known date is a Year 22 IV Akhet day 12 papyrus, which would belong anywhere from Year 32 to Year 44 of his reign depending on whether the Cattle Count was Biannual(2 X) or Semi-Biannual(1.5 X).
