| Life along the Nile, due to the paucity of rainfall, revolved around the predictible floods
of this mighty river, which carried the overflow rains and sediments from the mountains far to
the south downstream and into the Nile Delta where it joined with the Mediterranean Sea.
Plowing and planting occurred in December and January, while verdant crops blossomed in the
spring. By summer's end and early fall, dryness and evaporation set in full-force, and the
peoples of the Two Lands looked forward to innudations of river water once again. |
