Setjet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivory label bearing the serekh of Pharaoh Hor-Aha. It reports the victory over the "arch-using Setjet-folks" (center) and the visit at the domain "Horus thrives with the cattles" (right).

The Setjet (Egyptian: Sṯt) were a people in conflict with the early Egyptian rulers of the First Dynasty of Egypt.[1] One of the year labels of Pharaoh Djer mentions the "smiting (the land of) Setjet".[1] Setjet was presumably a region to the northeast, or a region of Western Asia.[1][2]

Seth-Peribsen of the Second Dynasty of Egypt is also mentioned as a conqueror of Setjet, which might have been in this case the city of Sethroë (Heracleopolis Parva).[3]
