Kings and Queens of Gold

The Master of the Double Crown: King Menes - Narmer

A long time ago, Egypt wasn't just one country; it was split into two kingdoms. The kingdom in the north had a king who wore a red crown, and the kingdom in the south had a king who wore a white crown. Then came a strong and clever hero named King Menes (or Narmer)! Menes managed to bring the northern and southern kingdoms together into one big, strong, and friendly country. To make everyone happy, he mixed the white crown and the red crown together to make a brand-new, amazing crown called the Double Crown! Because of this, Menes became the very first king to rule all of Egypt and unite it forever.

If someone asked you to mix your two favorite colors to create a magical new crown, which two colors would you pick?
