Djedkare Isesi

Djedkare Isesi was Pharaoh of Egypt during the Fifth dynasty. He did not, as had been customary for his dynasty, build his own sun temple, and he build his pyramid at Saqqara instead of Abusir . This is believed to be a sign that Osiris had now replaced the sun-god Ra as the most popular god. Titles were now thought to hold magical power; the inflation of them was an sign of the gradually decentralizaton of power.
