Many sources suggest that Merikare was buried in a yet-undiscovered pyramid in [[Saqqara]], called ''Flourishing are the Abodes of Merikare'', that had to be near to the [[pyramid of Teti]] of the [[6th Dynasty]].<ref name=cah4678/> The titles of the officials involved in its construction are documented, as his funerary cult endured into the [[12th Dynasty]]; in fact, Merikare's cartouche appears on the stelae of at least four priests who were responsible for the funerary cult of [[Teti]] and Merikare during the [[Middle Kingdom of Egypt|Middle Kingdom]].<ref name=quibell>[[James Edward Quibell]], [https://archive.org/details/cu31924028671240 ''Excavations at Saqqara (1905-1906)''], Le Caire, Impr. de l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale (1907), p.&nbsp;20 ff; pl. XIII, XV.</ref> They include [[Gemniemhat]] who also held other important positions.

 

Merikare is the most attested among the Herakleopolite rulers. His name appears on:

*the ''Teaching for King Merikare'';

===Hypothesis of an earlier reign===

In 2003 the Egyptologist Arkadi F. Demidchik suggested that Merikare's placement within the dynasty should be reconsidered. According to him, if Merikare reigned during the campaign led by Mentuhotep II then the former's pyramid and its cult couldn't have survived the Theban conquest; again, Merikare likely would not be able to obtain [[granite]] from the South as mentioned in the ''Teachings''. Demidchik also argued that the battles for Thinis mentioned by Tefibi and Merikare were the same fought – in the opposite front – by the Theban ruler [[Intef II|Wahankh Intef II]], thus suggesting that Merikare's reign should be placed some decades earlier than usually thought, when the 10th Dynasty's power was at its peak.<ref name=demidchik/>
