Best Answer

Since Seshat is a modern idea of the ancient word that was written without vowels (as is usual for hieroglyphs) you can say it any way you like and it will always be incorrect.

The ancient Egyptian name is written with the letters s+sh+3+t (3 represents a glottal stop); the ancient Egyptians knew exactly which vowels to include, but today that knowledge is lost.

Where was Seshat worshiped?

As far as I know, no single Temple of Seshat has been officially found. Seshat shared a Temple at Heliopolis I believe. Also, I heard Tahuti (Thoth) Preisthood subsumed Seshat's so it could be that any temple dedicated to Seshat were re-dedicated to Tahuti. But since, She is the Goddess of Libraries She may been worshipped in Library. In Egyptian times, writing and the written word were considered sacred. That would be my guess...
