context_page_description: Hemhem crown was an ancient Egyptian ceremonial headgear. It was basically an ornate triple atef with corkscrew sheep horns and usually two uraei. The Egyptian word "hemhem" means "to shout", "cry out", possibly indicating that the hemhem crown represented a battle horn.
  An early use of the hemhem crown is shown on the golden throne of 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Later the hemhem crown was shown on the images of non-Egyptian rulers, such as Natakamani, Arnekhamani or Silko of Nobadia. Cyrus the Great is seen wearing the crown in a bas-relief found in Pasargadae.
