Oh, dude, you're really testing my Egyptology knowledge here! So, like, the ancient Egyptian word that starts with the letter U is "Uraeus," which is like this super cool symbol of a rearing cobra used as a symbol of sovereignty and protection. It's like the ancient Egyptian version of a guard dog, but way more intimidating.

All we know about Cleo's crown is that it was a uraeus with three cobra heads. Remember, the days of the high crowns with the flat tops, that many pharaohs are depicted wearing were long past by the time Cleopatra came to the throne. In addition, being Greek, the Ptolemies wore the diadem as their symbol of rulership.
1 answer
yes. However you won't get an idea of how she looked from them because the statues that remain of her are all stylized in the Egyptian fashion. We know its Cleopatra because of the pudgy face of the Ptolemies and the triple uraeus that she wore and some could be tentatively dated. There are a few heads thought to be of Cleopatra, but they are either badly damaged or disputed.

The red crown, the chair shaped one with a sort of curlicue on the front (probably a stylized cobra, the symbol of the goddess Wadjet ) was the traditional crown of lower Egypt, the part of Egypt containing the delta where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean Sea. The tall white crown with the bulbous top is the traditional regional crown of upper Egypt. When Egypt was unified under one pharaoh then that pharaoh would often be depicted as wearing both crowns at once. The cobra or uraeus often seen on the front of a crown, usually with a vulture head, the symbol of Nekhbet, a goddess of upper Egypt.
Each crown was worn separately to show sovereignty over the particular part of Egypt. They were worn together to show the unification.
There are two other headdresses often seen on depictions of the Pharaoh. One is a piece of cloth with a uraeus and vulture on the front. The other is the "blue crown" or war crown. The cloth was probably more comfortable than either crown separately or together given the climate. The war crown was probably to provide protection to the Pharaoh when he was acting as a war leader.

We really don't have a clear image of any accessories that Cleopatra may have worn. This is because all the statues we have, that are supposed to be of Cleopatra, are all stylized in the Egyptian way of depicting their rulers. We see her with the uraeus with the three cobras and holding the crook and flail which are the symbols of her queenship. As she liked to associate herself with the goddess Isis and would often appear in public as the goddess, she more than likely had a snake coiled around her arm, either a tame live one or a golden armband in the form of a snake, as the snake was a symbol of the goddess Isis.

Wadjet the patron goddess of all of Lower Egypt and 'twin' in the guardianship of Egypt with the vulture goddess Nekhbet. These two were the nebty (the 'two ladies') of the pharaoh and were an example of Egyptian duality - each of the two lands had to have its own patron goddess. Wadjet was the personification of the north/Upper Egypt. The living Uraeus she was a protector of the pharaoh, ready to strike and kill his enemies. She was also depicted as a woman-headed cobra, a winged cobra, a lion-headed woman, or a woman wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt.

You mean "What is the snake symbol on the cartonnage mask of pharaoh Tutankhamun?".
Cartonnage is a form of paper mache made from papyrus, linen and plaster, often covered with gesso and gold leaf before being painted.
This cobra emblem represents royalty and the goddess Wadjet, and is seen attached to most types of royal crown. It is known today by its Greek name: uraeus, but the ancient Egyptians had their own words for it, written tpt or iart in hieroglyphs.
In fact the mask has many other, less obvious symbols: the eyebrows and eye make-up are symbolic of various gods and goddesses, the gold represents the flesh of the gods, the blue nms wig cover is a symbol of royalty, the elaborate necklace is a symbol of Isis or Hathor and so on.

The goddess Hathor (hieroglyphs: Hwt Hr) was sometimes depicted as a celestial cow, sometimes as a symbolic pillar with a woman's face, or a woman's face with cow's ears, or as a human with a cow's head, or with a human head and wearing cow's horns and the sun disk on her head (often with the addition of the uraeus).
She was worshipped in different forms in different places: in Memphis she was a tree goddess, in Thebes and Gebelein she was a goddess of the dead, but more often she was a goddess of women and a sky goddess. She was also considered to be associated with music, dancing and fertility.
Both the cow horns and solar disk refer to her role as sky goddess. She may (at least in part) have very ancient origins as a cow goddess representing the sky - so the sun-god Horus was thought to "live" within her as the sun lives in the sky. Her name means "mansion of Horus".

The Eye of Horus is a symbol of protection, royal power, and good health in ancient Egyptian belief. It is not specifically a symbol of all gods, but it is associated with the god Horus and the concept of divine protection in general.

The death mask of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun is made of gold inlaid with colored glass and semiprecious stone. The mask comes from the innermost mummy case in the pharaoh's tomb, and stands 54 cm (21 in) high and weighs around 11kg.
The pharaoh is portrayed in a classical manner, with a ceremonial beard, a broad collar formed of twelve concentric rows consisting of inlays of turquoise, lapis lazuli, cornelian and amazonite. The traditional nemes head-dress has yellow stripes of solid gold broken by bands of glass paste, coloured dark blue. On the forehead of the mask are a royal uraeus and a vulture's head, symbols of the two tutelary deities of Lower and Upper Egypt: Wadjet and Nekhbet. Above his perfect golden cheeks, Tutankhamen has blue petals of lapis lazuli in imitation of the kohl make-up he would have worn in life.

The first pharaoh to have united the "two lands" of Upper and Lower Egypt was said to have been King Narmer in 3000 b.c. Thereafter the pharaoh of Egypt was represented wearing a double crown (cat. no. 50a) that combined the white crown of Upper Egypt (cat. no. 26) and the red crown of Lower Egypt (cat. no. 51). Other symbols of the unification of the two lands are combined on the royal regalia: from Lower Egypt, the cobra or uraeus and from Upper Egypt, the vulture.
I hope that answered your question!
the pharaoh that united Egypt is not called narmer in fact there was no such person that ruled us and they united in 1554 bc and the crown was red and white and i think the phaoroah that united Egypt was called Atem (توم .

His principal cult center was Heliopolis ("sun city") near modern Cairo. Ra was also considered to be an underworld god, closely associated in this respect with Osiris. In this capacity he was depicted as a ram-headed figure. Osiris

A cobra, snake, or serpent is generally, but not always, used to symbolize temptation into sin just as when the serpent tempted Eve into sinning. Also, it can be used to symbolize something very sneaky, bad, and dangerous. That's why when a person is called a snake in the grass, it means something bad about that person. The word snake, is used to imply that a person is bad. This is used in many different countries and different cultures around the world. So, in conclusion, a person who has a cobra tattoo either likes cobras or in most cases is trying to give a message to everyone that he or she is a bad ass, so back off! Finally, a cobra is really just one of God's creatures, but, throughout the ages it has gotten a bad reputation and that's why the modern view of it is something that is bad.
AnswerThe King Cobra is a sacred symbol in many cultures. The Cobra and snake in general was the force that gave man his divine spark. Shakti is the name of the female energy coiled up at the base of the spine(snake.) Snake equals transformation, fire, magic, and wisdom. It was the snake who guided Eve to eat the apple, which in turn freed her from the sleep and she awoke to consciousness. The Cobra is a graceful animal and appears always to carry an air of dignity and nobility. The physical charisma with which it is endowed is without doubt also one of the reasons why it, among all snakes, was chosen by the Nagas (an ethnic group living in Nagaland and Manipur state in the northeastern part of India) to be their totem. The most famous use of cobra symbolism is that of the royal Egyptian uraeus, worn at the forehead of the pharaoh to represent sovereignty, knowledge, life, and youth.Also the cobra represented the sign of protection in Ancient egypt, the first answer is a matter of opinion stating the the cobra means sin and temptation or wanting to be sneaky.......ha....hogwash

The Egyptians viewed the ruling pharaoh as a god, the son of the sun-god Ra, and not merely as a representative of the gods. He was thought to be the incarnation of the falcon-headed god Horus the successor of Osiris. Among the pompous titles accorded him were "the sun of the two worlds," "Lord of the Crown," "the mighty god," "offspring of Ra," "the eternal," and many, many others. (History of Ancient Egypt, by G. Rawlinson, 1880, Vol. I, pp. 373, 374; History ofthe World, by J. Ridpath, 1901, Vol. I, p. 72) Fastened to the front of his crown was an image of the sacred uraeus, or cobra, which supposedly spat out fire and destruction upon his enemies. The image of the pharaoh was often placed in temples among those of the other gods. There are even Egyptian pictures of the reigning pharaoh worshiping his own image. As god, Pharaoh's word was law, and he ruled not according to a law code but by decree. Nevertheless, history shows that his supposedly absolute power was considerably limited by other forces within the empire, including the priesthood, the nobility, and the military. These points help in understanding how difficult Moses' assignment was in appearing before Pharaoh and presenting Jehovah's requests and warnings.-Compare Ex 5:1, 2; 10:27, 28.
th
Well Egyptians viewed Pharaoh's as high class people. They ruled Egypt as in they were king but Queen Hatshepsut (Thutmose the seconds wife) took over as king when he died. So if you didn't look up to them something bad would happen to you.
He received power directly from the gods. He was appointed by the gods to rule the empire. He possessed the secrets of the gods.
