Neferkara I (also Neferka and, alternatively, Aaka) is the cartouche name of a king (pharaoh) who is said to have ruled during the 2nd Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The exact length of his reign is unknown since the Turin canon lacks the years of rulership[1] and the ancient Egyptian priest Manetho suggests that Neferkara's reign lasted 25 years.[2] Egyptologists evaluate his statement as a misinterpretation or exaggeration.
