In ancient Egyptian times, women were seen and honored as greater and holier than a man. The woman is the mother of all, giving life and teaching. The ancients believed that when a man gained a lot of knowledge, spirituality, and power, he would have the right to wear a long hair wig to symbolize that he had reached a certain level equal to a woman.

As the two come together, she holds her man, giving him strength and protection. There is a saying that still floating around today behind every successful man is a strong woman holding him down.
