A news item involving Senebkay was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 16 January 2014. |
Can we get a photo of the tomb? RJFJR ( talk) 19:08, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Why is "Seneb Kay" used for the article name rather than "Senebkay" (which is what most people are using)? (Personally, I would have preferred something like "Senebka'ay", but nobody is using that.) So far, everything I have seen is using "Senebkay" so the article name of "Seneb Kay" just seems a bit confusing. — al-Shimoni ( talk) 01:45, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
This king's tomb apparently had 4 chambers according to this source. Another source with a few more pictures. I see you have the information in the article already. That's good. Best Regards, -- Leoboudv ( talk) 19:39, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Any thoughts?
We will update with more info as it becomes available. Unfortunately all pictures that have been released are under copyright and cannot be used on wikipedia. Iry-Hor ( talk) 09:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
In 1902 Randall MacIver and Mace discovered in the North East Cemetery at Abydos a magic wand. In 1903 Daressy published a picture of it. It is now in the Cairo Museum CG 9433. There is the king's name Se[ne]bkay clearly carved. Only Ryholt divided artificially this king in two a Seb and a Kay, which now is confusing. So Wegner has just discovered the tomb of this 13th dynasty king. He is long known. Cf. Porter and Moss V, 69. 82.16.170.193 ( talk) 21:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Here is a picture of the wand: http://www.google.de/imgres?sa=X&biw=1366&bih=665&tbm=isch&tbnid=4sps41LY6wc29M%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFile%3AKay_Amenemhat.jpg&docid=5a1usvYfFepp6M&itg=1&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F8%2F83%2FKay_Amenemhat.jpg&w=2052&h=1458&ei=bnzlUsSfFJKBhAeY-YHoDQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=3045&page=1&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=0CFcQrQMwAA 82.16.170.193 ( talk) 21:24, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
If you read what I wrote, you will see that I agree with you regarding the reading of the wand: the wand reads Sebkay and Seb [sa] Kay is Ryholt's (conjectural) reading. Good published references for Sebkay to be a single person include:
If you have Kara Cooney's published work where she states that Sebkay is a single person, I would be happy to include it in the list. Unfortunately, no article on Sebkay exist yet on wikipedia, this is something I might do soon if nobody else does. The list of references would then go into this article.

Could someone provide a source in order to write his throne name Woseribre in hieroglyphs? Khruner ( talk) 13:01, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
