Only the lowest step of the Saqqara pyramid had been constructed at the time of his death - but it would have been an even larger pyramid than Zoser's had it been finished

The pyramid itself was designed by Imhotep and showed signs of great care and planning in it's design. The ground was carefully leveled and chambers under the foundation of the pyramid 132 storerooms were constructed

The greatest find was the sealed alabaster sarcophagus, which was found empty

The only other attestation to Sekhemkhet is a relief of the Pharaoh was found Wadi Maghara in Sinai, where he is shown smiting his enemies with a mace.
