Baka, Setka, Baufre, HordjedefIt is possible that one or more short lived rulers took the throne during the middle of the fourth dynasty. Possible Rulers : Baka,
son
of Djedefre. May have succeeded his father Djedefre, or his uncle
Khafre. Baka was married to a lady named Hetepheres (C). Could
also have been a contender to the throne at the time of Menkaure.
(Vernus, Yoyotte and Lorton, The book of Pharaohs, pg 69). A statue now
in the Cairo Museum probably depicts Baka. He is shown with a small
daughter named Mertiotes. Cairo Mus. CG 176. (Probably from Abû
Rawâsh.) [PM VIII] Setka, son of Djedefre. As a prince he is known from a statue found in Djedefre's temple. (Now in the Louvre museum) Ba(u)fre, son of Khufu. May have ruled after Khafre. An inscription at Wadi Hamamat identifies Baufre as a son of Khufu and suggests that he was a succesor to his brother Khafre. Baufre may me identical to Prince Babaef. Babaef had a tomb in the Central Field at Giza. Djedefhor (Hordjedef), son of Khufu. May have ruled after Khafre. An inscription at Wadi Hamamat identifies Djedefhor (Hordjedef) as a son of Khufu and suggests that he was a succesor to his brother Khafre. Hordjedef had a tomb at Giza G 7210+7220. The inscriptions in his tomb were damaged and this may have been an act by enemies. A cult was established for Hordjedef. A book of the dead seems to indicate he was still alive during the reign of Menkaure. If he ever ruled this would indicate he took the throne after Menkaure.
A pyramid near Zawiyet el-Aryan possibly dates to the fourth dynasty. The inscriptions found are read as [...]ka. This leaves several possibilities: Nebka (Dyn 3), Setka (Son of Djedefre), Baka (Son of Djedefre. The Horus name of this ruler mat have been Nebkare. Dodson-Hilton tentatively identifies the ruler as Nebkare Setka.
An inscription at Wadi Hamamat identifies Baufre and Djedefhor as sons of Khufu and suggests that they were successors to their brother Khafre. The Middle Kingdom Grafitti lists in order: Khuf(u), Djedefre, Khafre, Hordjedefre, and Bafre. Each of the names is enclosed in a cartouche. (Dodson-Hilton pg 54) Some facts and interpretations of the archeological finds at the pyramid near Zawiyet el-Aryan :
