This implies that the name should be read Mer-es-khet (MdC: mr-s-Xt) and not Se-mer-khet. I don't know the reasoning by Egyptologists as to why, but has the name been conformed to fit with Manetho's Semempses?

Dat´s true. The problem is, that the Horus-bird or Seth-animal ALWAYS look to the left on clay seals whenever mentioning the actual name of the king to whom the seal inscription was adressed. Proof it! No matter in which direction the seal inscription was setted, the serekh-patrons look ALWAYS to the left. Cheers;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 09:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Is it just me or is there a problem with the hieroglyph signs not appearing properly ? I see the wiki codes for the signs instead of the signs themselves. This only happens on a few pages such as this one. Other hieroglyph pages appear fine. Iry-Hor ( talk) 12:26, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
The information on the people buried with him does not seem quite in line with the article on this subject in Wikipedia, and seems to be taken from rather outdated sources. So best to bring it in line with the info mentioned in Ancient Egyptian retainer sacrifices 86.88.133.96 ( talk) 15:26, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
