Egyptian Crown 5

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.

There were 30 dynasties who ruled Ancient Egypt.

A dynasty is the reign of a series of kings who all belonged to the same family.

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.
