The height of Sa-Nakhat is estimated to be 1.90 meters. He might have been regarded as a giant during his time because there had never been someone that tall before. As a result, an extensive investigation was carried out, yet the discovery of the huge Pharaoh is riddled with inconsistencies. For example, the location of his tomb was supposed to be at Abu Rawash and not at Beit Khallaf.
As a result, it cannot be said with certainty that this was indeed the Pharaoh’s original tomb. But the relics found at the site were linked to Sa-Nakhat, the mysterious giant Pharaoh, who was the first ruler of the third dynasty.

Sakhat’s size is one of the many Sa-contradictions. A person’s height is crucial in anthropomorphology since it can indicate the presence of a sickness that results in their being very tall in the first place. The average height of Ancient Egyptians was approximately 1.60 meters due to their nutrition. On the other hand, Sa Nakht’s were incredibly long. At that point, the scientific and anthropometric fascination with the gigantic Pharaoh began.

His entire skeleton, especially his cranial measurements, was examined for any signs of wear and tear. When scientists compared Sa-Nakhat’s measurements to those of ancient Egyptians’ anatomy, they found that Sa Nakht’s size was exceptionally enormous. Since it was so large, Egypt had never seen anything quite like it before. The skeleton’s dimensions were extraordinarily high in comparison to the norm. During further investigation, a potential anomaly in the jaw area was detected. Acromegaly was the most likely outcome, according to the experts.
When the pituitary gland creates more somatropin than is necessary, it results in an overly developed body. Acromegaly Affected areas include the face, head, and hands. Organ malfunction may occur as a result of it.

Sa-Nakhat’s physique was perfectly proportional to the length of his limbs, except for his jaw. He had a well-toned physique and a good sense of posture. How far back in time can we trace the ancestry of Sa-Nakhat? No evidence of malformations in Sa’s childhood or maturity has been found, further complicating matters for doctors.
DNA testing will be done on the ruler’s remains in the near future, but the investigation of his remains is still ongoing. Whether he had acromegaly or was of “natural origin” would be determined by this. Experts said the test would be “extremely challenging” because the genetic analysis requires DNA in perfect condition.
