===Children=== Many Egyptologists, including Verner, Zemina, David,<!--aren't there two of them?--> and Baker, believe that Sahure was Userkaf's son rather than his brother as suggested by the Westcar papyrus.{{sfn|Verner|Zemina|1994|pp=68 & 85}}{{sfn|David|David|2001|p=127}} The main evidence is a relief showing Sahure and his mother Neferhetepes, this being also the name of the queen who is believed to have owned the pyramid next to Userkaf's.{{sfn|Verner|2007|p=9}} An additional argument supporting the filiation of Sahure is the location of his pyramid in close proximity to Userkaf's sun temple.{{sfn|Verner|Zemina|1994|pp=67β68}} A daughter named Khamaat is mentioned in inscriptions uncovered in the [[mastaba]] of [[Ptahshepses (high priest)|Ptahshepses]].{{sfn|Dorman|2002|pp=101 & 107}} A tomb discovered in [[Saqqara]] has been identified as belonging to a son of Userkaf named Waser-If-Re.<ref>{{cite news |last1=El-Aref |first1=Nevine |title=Tomb of prince Waser-If-Re unearthed in Saqqara |url=https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/9/40/544833/Antiquities/Ancient-Egypt/Tomb-of-prince-WaserIfRe-unearthed-in-Saqqara.aspx |access-date=6 May 2025 |agency=Ahram Online}}</ref>
