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 subsistence so 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 ensure rich soil for their crops and thick grasses
for their grazing animals.
