Very little is known about the life of Menka, whose identity is known only from a basalt fragment most likely coming from الجبلين. The name Menka means "the ka shall be durable" and the fragment with her name also includes hieroglyphs that could be read as “who sees Horus”, which was the title of queens in the early dynastic age and during the Old Kingdom. The fragment also includes a depiction of her.[1][2][3]
The relief depicts Menka as a standing woman, in a close-fitting dress, with a large, hemispherical vessel on her head and with standards lined up behind her. The hieroglyphs do not indicate who her consort was.[4] Egyptologist Wolfgang Helck noticed that the scene bears considerable stylistic resemblance to an unfinished scene located on a basalt relief at the archaeological site of Gebelein, that is attributed to King Khasekhemwy, who was the last Pharaoh of the Second Dynasty of Egypt. Helck has suggested that the fragment of Menka's relief may also originate from that site.[5]
قامت ڤيڤيان كالندر بمراجعة الدليل المتمثل في النقش. She noted that the woman shown there bears a vessel on the head. This is typical for the depiction of an offering bearer. No queen is ever shown in this position. The hieroglyphic inscription might not relate to the woman depicted. [6]Menka was therefore most liekly a servant shown on this relief. She was not a queen.
