seshemetka

seshemetka was an ancient egyptian queen from the first dynasty of egypt , a wife of pharaoh den .
she was the mother of anedjib .
her royal titles were `` great one of the hetes-sceptre '' , `` she who sees horus '' , `` she who carries seth '' .
very little is known about seshemetka besides a stela discovered near den 's tomb in abydos .
seshemetka was not the only woman identified from funerary stela .
stelae of royal women named semat and serethor were similarly discovered in abydos .
these women may be further wives of king den , but nothing beyond their names is known about them .
grajetzki -lrb- referencing petrie , troy and roth -rrb- lists seshemetka as a wife of king djer and states that she was buried near djer 's funerary complex in umm el-qa ` ab , abydos .
