Thanks!
The Double Crown of ancient Egypt was known as the Pschent; the ancient Egyptians called it the 'sekhemti' which means the Two Powerful Ones. It was a combination of Lower Egypt's Red Deshret Crown and Upper Egypt's White Hedjet Crown. It represented the pharoah's power over all of Egypt. It had an Egyptian cobra to symbolize the Lower Egyptian goddess, Wadjet, and an Egyptian vulture to symbolize the Upper Egyptian goddess Nekhbet.
The first pharoah to wear the double crown was Djet. The Pschent was given to all pharoahs from the First Dynasty (~32nd century BCE - 2886 BCE) and onward.
The significant of Narmer's double crown was to symbolize the kingdom's unity.
The crown of upper Egypt was white, and the one for lower Egypt was red. Those were united in one piece.
The double crown was meant to show that they were the rulers of both Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt; which at certain times during Egyptian history were either two separate countries or a single united country.A double crown indicates a united country of both northern and southern Egypt.This is usually referred to as being King of the Two Lands; or being King of upper (south) and lower (north) Egypt.The long pointy crown with a knobbly top is the white crown of Southern Egypt and the one with the flat top is the red crown of Northern Egypt.You often see the white crown inside the red one. Sometimes you also see the King wearing either one or the other.
The colors of the double crown were white and red.
The first pharaoh to have united the "two lands" of Upper and Lower Egypt was said to have been King Narmer in 3000 b.c. Thereafter the pharaoh of Egypt was represented wearing a double crown (cat. no. 50a) that combined the white crown of Upper Egypt (cat. no. 26) and the red crown of Lower Egypt (cat. no. 51). Other symbols of the unification of the two lands are combined on the royal regalia: from Lower Egypt, the cobra or uraeus and from Upper Egypt, the vulture.I hope that answered your question!the pharaoh that united Egypt is not called narmer in fact there was no such person that ruled us and they united in 1554 bc and the crown was red and white and i think the phaoroah that united Egypt was called Atem (توم .i hope this gves a btter understanding of the question you asked
