In the Turin king list, the length of his reign is left blank and Manetho exaggerates his reign to 66 years, while most scholars today believe that his reign lasted from 24 years. to 26 years, according to the date of Prince Nekure's Will which was carved on the walls inside the prince's mastaba tomb. The date of this will is "The Year of the Thirteenth Livestock Count".[6] If cattle counts took place every two years during the Fourth Dynasty, that would mean the king ruled for 24 to 25 years.
