Alternatively some scholars classify him as the first king of the Seventh or Eighth Dynasty.[2] As the last king of the 6th Dynasty, Netjerkare Siptah is considered by some Egyptologists to be the last king of the Old Kingdom period. Netjerkare immediately follows Merenre Nemtyemsaf II on the list.[2] The prenomen Netjerkare is also attested on a single copper tool of unknown provenance and now in the British Museum.[2][4] The nomen Neitiqerty Siptah is inscribed on the Turin canon, on the 5th column, 7th row (4th column, 7th row in Gardiner's reconstruction of the canon).[2] Ryholt argues that the name "Nitocris" is a result of conflation and distortion from the name "Netjerkare".[3] Confirming this analysis, the Turin canon, another king list redacted during the early Ramesside period lists a Neitiqerti Siptah at an uncertain position.
