Semerkhet was the sixth king of the 1st Dynasty. He was the son of King Anedjib and Queen Betrest, and for unknown reasons, only ruled for nine years. He is thought by some to have been a usurper.
According to Manetho disasters occurred during his reign. He may have caused the unrest during Anendjib's reign. He is responsible for erasing Anendjib's name from stone vases. A little black stela bearing his name is the only direct evidence found.
