History

Djedefptah is not accounted for in many chronologies -- usually, Shepseskaf is listed as the last pharaoh of the fourth dynasty. However, many assume that Djedefptah is listed by Manetho as Tamphthis (which is probably a form of ptah-djedef, and grants him a reign of 9 years.

The Turin canon has an unnamed pharaoh after Shepseskaf who ruled for about two years. Djedefptah could fill this space. Not much else is known about him.
