What crown represented the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt?

Pschent is correct because it’s the Double Crown that combines the white Hedjet of Upper Egypt with the red Deshret of Lower Egypt, symbolizing a pharaoh’s rule over the “Two Lands.” Known in Egyptian as sekhemty (“the Two Powerful Ones”), it visually united the kingdoms after their consolidation, often associated with early rulers like Narmer. When a pharaoh wore the Pschent, it proclaimed political unity and divine kingship. Remember it by thinking “Pschent = paired crown.” By contrast: Hedjet is only the white Upper Egyptian crown; Atef is Osiris’s feathered crown; Nemes is the striped headcloth (like Tutankhamun’s mask). Picture red + white stacked together—one crown to rule both halves of Egypt.
