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.
