Name: RED CROWN KING (wall stele)
Time: c. 2030 BC
Location: Thebes, Egypt
The first Crown of Egypt! The "Red Crown" was worn for centuries by pharaohs in Lower Egypt, the less advanced of the two Egyptian civilizations in the 3rd millennium B.C. The Red Crown was worn by Mentuhoptep II, the ruler of Lower Egypt, when he conquered Upper Egypt around 2050 B.C. and united the two separate kingdoms into the Egypt of today. The Red Crown was then combined with the tall elegant conical White Crown of Upper Egypt into the Double Crown, first worn by Mentuhoptep II, representing the unification of all of Egypt . This full sized copy of a painted limestone wall relief from Thebes shows Mentuhoptep II, the last Pharaoh to wear the Red Crown.
