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]
