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

G5U1
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]
