| The first thing which needs explaining about the Scorpion King was did actually exist. This was in Pre-dynastic Egypt and he is supposed to have been the first pharaoh of Egypt to unite the north and south of the country. He goes by a number of names in the history books one of which is "King Scorpion". He didn�t have anything to do with Anubis, curses or anything else like that though, it is just a filmmaker�s fantasy I think, but its a nice story. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
