Boat of King Den?


There are reports online reporting that a 5000-year-old funerary boat supposedly belonging to the First Dynasty King Den has been found at Abu Rawash. The article does not tell why it is thought to be Den's. Perhaps there is a serekh of this king in relation to the boat itself or on pottery left with the ship during burial.
