... The King wore different crowns for different ceremonies. For instance while receiving the [N]ome gods of Lower Egypt he would wear the crown of Lower Egypt or while celebrating some Upper Egyptian ritual he would wear the White Crown.

Do you have a specific instance that is causing you concern? ...

I am just a bit curious why after the unification (or supposed unification) both Upper and Lower Egypt still considered themselves basically independent and still worshiped different gods and were represented by different crowns. So therefore one would have to ask ... What exactly did the unification unite and what exactly was it's purpose ? What did it accomplish ... this unification ?

Secondly I am curious why there apparently are fewer examples (in art) of The Double Crown than the individual crowns (Red and White)

Is it at all possible that they (The Red, The White and The Double) represented something else ?
