Extractions: In ancient times, towns flourished along the river banks of the Nile and Egypt was one of the richest countries in the world. Most of the country now is barren desert cut in two by this mighty river. The Egyptians farmers lived along the higher ground along the banks of the Nile. Every year the Nile flooded and the rich deposit of silt that was left, was good for crop growing. The flood waters originated from the snow in Ethiopia and flowed into the Nile. Their diet included wheat and barley as the main crop, melons beans, grapes, onions, garlic, figs, dates and leeks. The ancient Egyptians had their farming year very well organised. THE FLOOD SEASON - from mid July - mid November. The fields were flooded in july and there was no work, some egyptians relaxed while othere worked on schemes ,like the pyramids.
