Lovecraft references Nephren-Ka. Also known as the Black
Pharaoh, the last Egyptian pharaoh of the
Third Dynasty. Nephren-Ka began a worship
of Nyarlathotep and birthed the ideas that
later gave way to the Starry Wisdom that
swept through Egypt and the world. In the
course of this worship, he acquired the
Shining Trapezohedron from merchants of
Khem. Once in his possession, he built a
dark temple around it, committing
sacrifices to the Haunter of the Dark in
exchange for the creature’s limitless
knowledge. It was this exchange that
ultimately brought Nephren-Ka’s reign to an
end. Such were his deeds that his name was
struck from the monuments and other
records.
