Hi Nefertari1. You can find some information on scorpions in ancient Egypt

I hope you find it useful.

That's an interesting article about scorpions. Um...I think I may have to reconsider my wish for a warmer, dryer climate though!

'Scorpion' [Srqt] is also the name of the quasi-mythical second King of Egypt, who preceeded king Narmer (the king who united Upper and Lower Egypt in around 3150 B.C). The only clear evidence of Scorpion's existence is provided by the so-called 'Scorpion Macehead', which is housed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. All the books I have which mention King Scorpion compensate for Egyptologists' profound lack of knowledge by filling up space describing the appearance of this artefact. In fact, some scholars remain unsure that Scorpion even existed, suggesting that 'Srqt' was merely an official title of another king. If he existed at all, Scorpion's tomb is almost certainly located somewhere at Abydos, where the tombs of other First (and some Zeroth) dynasty kings have been discovered. It is possible that the four-chambered tomb in Abydos designated B50 was his final resting place, but conclusion remains impossible in the absence of firm evidence.

Oh, and have a look at Serqet if you want a Scorption-Goddess:

OMG...I take it this is you that's covered in scorpions?

Do they have their stings removed, or is that not possible? I know something like that can be done with tarantulas.

I must show my son this photo because only 2 days ago he told me that a couple of years ago, he had a dream about a black scorpion.

Yikes! Someone likes scorpions

Are you a scorpio by any chance Ramsekh?

Yes, i am a scorpio. Its stinger is still intact. The emperor scorpion is the least venomous of all scorpions.

I've learned something today. Thanks, Ramsekh

Is it right that the smaller the scorpion, the more deadly the poison?

EEEEEEEEKS Ramsekh
You are one brave man But what was this display in aid of

Insanity

Just kidding Ramsekh

Not necessarily - there are some feral scorpions in England which are small & about as dangerous as a bee.
I HEARD that if they have strong claws they probably do not have a strong sting.
