EGYPTIAN (KEMITIAN)ROYALTY SYMBOLS. Egypt has many sybols relating to royalty. Below are two examples of headgear .and a crown.. and their meanings .. There are far to many symbols for me to mention in one article..but here goes.... Crowns and Headgear Egyptian kings and gods are depicted wearing different crowns and headdresses. Before 3000 B.C., there was the white crown of Upper Egypt and the red crown of Lower Egypt. When Egypt was united, these two crowns were amalgamated into the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. Starting in the eighteenth dynasty, kings also wore the blue crown, and the white crown with a plume on either side and a small disk at the top. Kings are often represented wearing the nemes headcloth, a piece of cloth pulled tight across the forehead and tied at the back, with two flaps hanging on the sides. Cobra (uraeus) and vulture heads were worn on the forehead. Kings shaved their heads but had a prominent beard.
