How did king narmer unite the upper Egypt and lower Egypt?

King Narmer, also known as Menes, is credited with uniting Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE. He achieved this through a combination of military conquest and strategic marriages, which helped consolidate power and influence. Narmer's victory is famously depicted on the Narmer Palette, where he is shown wearing the crowns of both Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing the unification of the two regions under his rule. This unification laid the foundation for the ancient Egyptian civilization and its dynastic rule.


What did the double crown of Egypt symbolises?

In Ancient Egypt, the land was divided into two parts. They were Lower and Upper Egypt. Their names were backwards- Lower Egypt is more up north, towards the Nile Delta, than Upper Egypt, which is towards where the Nile starts. Each one of the two parts had its own pharaoh. The Upper Pharaoh wore the Hedjet, the crown of Upper Egypt, and the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt wore the Deshret. If a single pharaoh could manage to unite both Upper and Lower Egypt to create one big Egypt, he was The best. He was all-powerful, almost a god. If you could do this, the people would literally worship you. If you could unite the two parts of Egypt, you could fit the Hedjet into the Deshret to make the Sekhemti, also called the Pschent. The two crowns, Hedjet for Upper Egypt, and the Deshret for Lower Egypt, were specifically made for this purpose- they were actually made to fit together like puzzle pieces. If you could wear the Pschent, you were the ultimate Pharaoh. You were almost a god.
