 In contrast, Egyptologists such as Kim Ryholt believe that Neferkara/Neferka was identical with a sparsely attested king named Sneferka, which is also thought to be a name used by king Qa'a (the last ruler of the 1st dynasty) for a short time only.Ryholt thinks that Ramesside scribes misleadingly added the symbol of the sun to the name “(S)neferka”, ignoring the fact that the sun itself was no object of divine adoration yet during the 2nd dynasty.For a comparison he points to cartouche names such as "Neferkara II" from the kinglist of Abydos and "Nebkara I" from the Sakkara table.
