No one we track was surely alive alongside Menkaure

Our coverage of the ancient world is thin: we only include people whose birth and death can be dated to within 25 years. These lives may have overlapped with Menkaure’s, but their dates are too uncertain to say: Khafre.

The nearest lives we can place: Neferefre was born about 20 years after Menkaure died and Unas was born about 125 years after Menkaure died.
