Djedefre (also known as Djedefra and Radjedef) was an ancient Egyptian king (pharaoh) of the 4th dynasty during the Old Kingdom. He is well known under his Hellenized name form Ratoises (by Manetho). Djedefre was the son and immediate throne successor of Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza; his mother is not known for sure. He was the king who introduced the royal title Sa-Rê (meaning “Son of Ra”) and the first to connect his cartouche name with the sun god Ra.
He married his (half-) sister Hetepheres II. He also had another wife, Khentetenka with whom he had (at least) three sons, Setka, Baka and Hernet, and one daughter, Neferhetepes. These children are attested to by statuary fragments found in the ruined mortuary temple adjoining the pyramid. Various fragmentary statues of Khentetenka were found in this ruler's mortuary temple at Abu Rawash. Abu Rawash actually sits at an elevation higher than the rest of Giza, making it the highest, albeit not the tallest, pyramid. Some historians claim that the "pyramid" at Abu Rawash isn't even a pyramid at all; instead, it may be a "sun temple." Archaeologist Vassil Dobrev has claimed that it may not even be Djedefre's. Excavations by the French team under Michel Valloggia have recently added another potential daughter, Hetepheres, as well as a son, Nikaudjedefre, to this.
Piensas que el absurdo es mi enemigo
que las sombras se oscurecen estando quietas
piensas que los fuegos vienen de lejos
que no soy capaz de arder estando quieto
Pues déjate ver...
Pues déjate ver...
Piensas que el inframundo no es profundo
que el destino no es aliado del abismo
piensas que la suerte no es sincera
que la risa es pasajera y está de luto
Pues déjate ver...
Pues déjate ver...
Deja ya de sentirte un semidiós de un ser infeliz
entiende ya que para poder llorar
no hace falta matar
Sabes que el infierno lo tienes cerca
que tu mirada reflejó el azufre oscuro
piensas que los cielos te pertenecen
y nunca has estado hincado ante una nube
Deja ya de sentirte un semidiós de un ser infeliz
entiende ya que para poder llorar
no hace falta matar
