Unas (also Wenis, Oenas, Unis, or Ounas) was a Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, the last king of the Fifth dynasty. He is said to have lived from 2375 BC to 2345 BC.
He built a small pyramid at Saqqara, close to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the interior of which is decorated with religious texts known as the Pyramid Texts. These texts were used in the Sixth Dynasty royal tombs, but Unas' are the first known, and contain verses not included in the later versions. He probably had no sons; hence, the Fifth dynasty came to an end after his death.
His successor, Teti, married his daughter, Iput, in order to legitimize his claim to the throne and proceeded found the 6th dynasty of Egypt.
