Life in ancient Egypt was centered largely on agriculture. The majority

of the people were involved in farming, and the growing season lasted

eight-nine months. Wheat, fruits and vegetables were the principal

crops, although there was some pastoral farming of cattle, sheep, or

goats. Farmers in ancient Egypt worked to reach a level of subsistenceso that they could feed themselves and pay their taxes. During the

annual flooding of the Nile, which typically lasted from July through

November, farming was impossible. But when the waters receded, a

thick layer of fertile silt over the farmlands remained to insure rich soil

for their crops and thick grasses for their grazing animals.
