Menkaure (also read as Menkaura), was an ancient Egyptian king (pharaoh) of the 4th dynasty during the Old Kingdom, who is well known under his Hellenized names Mykerinos (by Herodotus) and Menkheres (by Manetho). According to Manetho, he was the throne successor of king Bikheris, but according to archaeological evidences he rather was the successor of king Khafre. Menkaure became famous for his tomb, the Pyramid of Menkaure, at Giza and his beautiful statue triads, showing the king together with goddesses and his wife Khamerernebty.
Menkaure was the son of Khafra and the grandson of Khufu. A flint knife found in the mortuary temple of Menkaure mentioned a king's mother Khamerernebty I, suggesting that Khafra and this queen were the parents of Menkaure. Menkaure is thought to have had at least two wives.
Menkaure was the king of the Fourth Dynasty of Kmt who ordered the construction of the third and smallest of the pyramids of Giza. His main queen was Khamerernebty II. His rule was from about 2532 to 2508 BCE. He was the successor of Khafre.

Menkaure was not succeeded by Prince Khuenre, his eldest son, who predeceased Menkaure, but rather by Shepseskaf, one of his younger sons. After those in Egypt, Boston has a number of exquisite statues and representations of Menkaure.

El último faraón, Shepseskaf, erigió un monumento a modo de gran sarcófago pétreo, la mastaba de Shepseskaf en Saqqara. La pirámide de Dyedefra (Abu-Roash) llegó a ser 7 metros más alta que la de Keops, pero desde la dominación romana fue desmantelada para usar sus piedras en otras construcciones. Durante la dinastía V la mayoría de sus reyes levantaron complejos de pirámides, en Saqqara y Abusir, pero de menores dimensiones y técnicamente muy inferiores. Prosiguieron erigiéndolas en Saqqara Teti, Pepy I, Merenra I y Pepy II, durante la dinastía VI. En el denominado primer período intermedio de Egipto algunos gobernantes continuaron...
