 Double Crown


 * Egyptian Name:**

//Pschent// or //Sekhemti// ("The Two Powerful Ones")


 * Hieroglyphics:**



With the unification of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, the Red Crown and the White Crown were combined to become the Double Crown, symbolizing the pharaoh's power and control over the two lands.

The deities Horus and occasionally Atum, Ra, Maahes, Khepri, Anubis, and Mut were also depicted wearing this crown. On some occasions amulets of the Double Crown, made of gold or faience, were buried with the dead.
