The Companion[1]

Semat (fl. c. 2950 BC) was an Ancient Egyptian Queen, who was a wife of the King Den. She was buried near him in Abydos.

Very little is known about Semat besides a stela discovered near Den's tomb in Abydos. She held the titles of

E21
D36
M33.t-Ḥr.(w)
Maat-Hor
"She who sees Horus"
Rnm.t-Stš
Renmet-Setesh
"She who carries Seth"

Both of these titles were associated with queens in ancient Egypt.[2] Semat was not the only woman identified from funerary stela. Other women whose funerary stela were found near Den's tomb are Seshemetka and Serethor.[3]

The stela was in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin, but was destroyed during World War 2.[4]
