He had a fairly large tomb in Abydos which measures 98.5 X 75.5 feet or 30 X 23 meters. Manetho gives him a reign of 26 years in his Epitome if this ruler was a certain Biechenes. A long reign is supported by the large size of this ruler''s burial site at Abydos. A seal impression bearing Hotepsekhemwy''s name was found near the entrance of the tomb of Qa''a (Tomb Q) by the German Archaeological Institute in the mid-1990s. This pharaoh''s large Abydos tomb was excavated by German archaeologists in 1993 and proved to contain 26 satellite (i.e. sacrificial) burials.
