Pharaoh Senebkay, one of the earliest kings of a forgotten Abydos Dynasty, was brutally killed in battle more than 3,600 years ago, says a study that has reconstructed, blow by blow, the king’s last moments.
The research identified 18 wounds on the pharaoh’s bones. It also established that Senebkay is the earliest Egyptian pharaoh to have died in battle.
Woseribre Senebkay was unknown to history until last year, when a University of Pennsylvania expedition led by archaeologist Josef Wegner, working with Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, found his remains in a four-chambered tomb at South Abydos in Sohag province, about 300 miles south of Cairo.

How do they know he was not killed in his own bedchamber?

It was Colonel mustard who did the deed with a knife in the library.
To: WayneS
"How do they know he was not killed in his own bedchamber?" "According to the researchers, the angle and direction of Senebkay’s wounds indicate he was in an elevated position — possibly on horseback or on a chariot — when he was attacked and killed."
Also in the article:
"Indeed, analysis of Senebkay’s pelvis and leg bones indicate he spent much of his life as a horse rider."

"Indeed, analysis of Senebkay’s pelvis and leg bones indicate he spent much of his life as a horse rider." Or, he didn't have sufficient calcium in his diet?
