The only evidence of his existence is a macehead found in Nekhen. He is believed to have lived just before or during the rule of Narmer at Thinis. He may have been a local king of Nekhen who had nothing to do with the ruling house of Thinis or a rival from within that family. Another theory makes him identical to Narmer as an alternate name. Nekhen (Greek: Hierakonpolis, Arabic: Kom El-Ahmar) was the religious and political capital of Upper Egypt at the end of the Predynastic period ( 3200- 3100 BC.) and probably also during the Early Dynastic Period ( 3100 - 2686 BC). ...

There's lots to look at in "The ScorpionKing," starting with the upper bod of World Wrestling Federation star Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson: His plumped-up, oil-slicked pecs are so acutely defined they could jump off the screen and spin off into their own sequel.
Even the animals in "The ScorpionKing" are superior specimens: The picture boasts the comeliest camel I've ever seen, a glamorous creature whose fluff has been pruned and permed to cream-colored perfection -- and with none of those unsightly, unidentifiable dingle-dos sported by your garden-variety movie dromedary.
