Oh, dude, Narmer's double crown was like the OG fashion statement of ancient Egypt. It symbolized the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, showing that Narmer was the boss ruling over both regions. It's basically like wearing a crown that says, "Yeah, I'm in charge here, no big deal."

Ah, the double crown of Narmer is a symbol of unity and power in ancient Egypt. It represented the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under one ruler, marking the beginning of a new era of prosperity and harmony. Just like how blending different colors on your palette creates a beautiful painting, Narmer's double crown brought together two lands to create a stronger and more cohesive kingdom.
The colors of the double crown were white and red.
Neithhotep A, a princess of Northern Egypt
I believe it is Kaliph II and Jokhan.
The Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt is also known as the Pschent crown. King Menes of Memphis founded the First Egyptian Dynasty around 3100 BC and unified the Two Lands of Upper and Lower Egypt. As a symbol of unity between the Two Lands, King Menes created the Double Crown by inserting the White Crown of Upper Egypt into the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. The double crown was an amalgamation of the white crown (Ancient Egyptian name 'hedjet') of Upper Egypt and the red crown (Ancient Egyptian name 'deshret') of Lower Egypt.Thanks!
King Menes!
