 Many egyptologists assign Nebkaure to the 9th Dynasty, possibly the fourth king (and the second king bearing the name "Khety"), just after Neferkare.On the other hand, other scholars such as Jürgen von Beckerath believe instead that Nebkaure reigned during the subsequent 10th Dynasty, possibly before Meryibre Khety.Like many of the kings who preceded or succeeded him, attestations of Nebkaure Khety are scant.
