Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Hedjet

The White Crown. This was the crown of Upper Egypt (southern).

2) Deshret

The Red Crown. This was the crown that represented Lower Egypt (northern).

3) Eye of Heru (Horus)

The Eye of Heru symbol is a falcon's eye. Falcons are known for keen sight, speed and their ability to fly high in the sky. The Eye of Heru represents awareness and protection from negativity.

4) Was

This is a symbol of power and dominion. The Was scepter is carried by deities as a sign of their power. It is also seen being carried by kings and later by people of lesser stature in mortuary scenes.

5) Ankh

Literally means "Life" but interestingly enough, the symbol represents "family". The circle portion is woman. The lower part is man. Their union produces the cross section which represents the children (boy & girl).
