The siege of Naqada was a major land and naval battle between the forces of King Scorpion I and Naqada itself which had been suffering a two joint offensive by Thinis and Nekhen. The conflict occurred on Naqada's northernmost frontier, in the middle of Scorpion I's reign or about c. 3320 BC.
In this battle the Thinite army, personally led by Scorpion I, who were attempting to finally conquer Naqada by land and the River Nile, defeated the army of Naqada.[2] Almost all that is known about the battle comes from a graffito of Scorpion I discovered during the Theban Desert Road Survey.[1][3]
