Sumario:This article presents the first complete and detailed published data about the King Senaaib stela, which is a worship stela for god Min-Horus-nakht (GC 20517). It was found in Abydos and is currently being guarded by the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo. We propose a discussion about the possible dating of the stela and the location of the pharaoh within the ancient Egyptian dynastic chronology. At the same time, we will make a transliteration and complete translation of the texts —the first version in Spanish—. We will finally present a description and detailed analysis of its iconography and the problems derived from their inscriptions and translation. We will also include different debates and arguments stated by specialists when interpreting the stela, many of them contradictory, and we will propose new questions arising from an integrated view of different analytic perspectives.
