sahure appears in two further historical records: on the third entry of the karnak king list, which was made during the reign of thutmose iii (1479—1425 bc) and on the 26th entry of the saqqara tablet dating to the reign of ramses ii (1279—1213 bc). neither of these sources give his reign length. the absolute dates of sahure's reign are uncertain but most scholars date it to the first half of the 25th century bc, see note 1 for details.
