King Menes, often credited with uniting Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE, created the double crown to symbolize this unification. The crown, known as the Pschent, combined the white crown of Upper Egypt and the red crown of Lower Egypt, representing the strength and authority over both regions. This powerful symbol helped to legitimize his rule and foster a sense of national identity among the diverse populations of the newly unified kingdom.
