Today we will Build the Nile in the classroom !!!
Agriculture was the major occupation of ancient Egyptians. Peasants families worked the fields, made fertile by the rise and fall of the Nile. Flax and grain were the major crops. After the sowing, herdsmen brought sheep and goats to trample the seed. During the harvest, a flutist sometimes played lively tuned to keep the workers moving. When at last the grain could be stored, a scribe tallied the results and calculated the state tax.
