TFA blurb review
Shepseskaf was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt who reigned in the late 26th to mid 25th century BC. He was the sixth and probably last ruler of the fourth dynasty during the Old Kingdom period. His name means "His ka (his soul's essence) is noble". Shepseskaf might have been the son or possibly the brother of his predecessor Menkaure. During his four to seven year reign Shepseskaf completed the mortuary complex of the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three main pyramids of Giza. For his own tomb he abandoned the Giza necropolis and built a mastaba, a flat-roofed rectangular structure now known as the Mastabat al-Fir'aun, at South Saqqara. These decisions may have reflected his short reign, a declining economy, or a power-struggle between the King and the priesthood of Ra. Alternatively, Shepseskaf may have intended his tomb to be a pyramid, but after his death it was completed as a mastaba.

 * I've beefed up the short reign bit and made it clearer that this is a possible reason for him not having a pyramid.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  17:59, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's an improvement. When there are 3 elements in a list, I like to list the two shorter ones first ... see if that edit works for you. - Dank (push to talk) 18:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
