Shepseskaf may have been the last Egyptian Pharaoh of the Fourth dynasty if he was not succeeded by a certain Djedefptah as recorded in Egyptian literature and indirectly, by the Turin Canon. He broke with tradition and built his tomb as a great mastaba at Saqqara, now known as Mastabat Fara'un. In contrast, his forefathers built the pyramids of Giza.
