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.
