| Scorpion I | Scorpion I is known for his Tomb U-J at Abydos, the oldest tomb at Abydos. Tomb U-J was plundered in antiquity but during excavations was still found to contain many small ivory plaques. Each ivory plaque had a hole for tying, and had a scratched hieroglyph-type image thought to be town names; perhaps they labeled offerings from towns he conquered, and the necessity for organization brought about the Egyptian hieroglyphic system. | ||
| Scorpion II | Known for the Scorpion Macehead. | ||
