The decline of the powerful Fourth Dynasty and the rise of a new royal line, the Fifth Dynasty, have for a long time been shrouded in mystery and have become the stuff of legends. These events are referred to in the tale of the miraculous rise of the first three kings of the Fifth Dynasty, recorded on the Papyrus Westcar. However, relevant historical sources relating to the ascension of the new dynasty have for a long time been only few and ambiguous. The mystery surrounding the ascension of the Fifth Dynasty has now been altered fundamentally by new archaeological discoveries, in particular in the course of the research of the pyramid field in Abusir. These discoveries and the role played by three royal mothers named Khentkaus in the events at the end of the Fourth and the beginning of the Fifth Dynasty, are discussed in the cited article.

Vizier Ptashshepses, son-in-law of King Nyuserre, was one of the most influential officials of the second half of the Fifth Dynasty. His life and remarkable career are attested not only by his very important titles, but also by his imposing mastaba, the largest and once the best decorated non-royal tomb in the Abusir cemetery. However, his origin, and also his family life seem to be shrouded in mystery. One of the secrets of the vizier’s family is the erased figure and name of his eldest son, Khafini. This article is dedicated to this and some other problems concerning the family of Vizier Ptahshepses.

One of the long-standing problems of Egyptology, due to the shortage of original evidence, is the interpretation of the decoration programme of the Old Kingdom pyramid complexes and, consequently, the meaning of individual rooms of these monuments. However, the extant remains of the decoration of the columned court of Sahure’s mortuary temple represent a rare exception which makes such an interpretation possible.
