Question

I need the answer for a quiz next semester but i'll know by tomorrow just kidding I already know just seein if u ppl do :)

Answer 1

The waters started rising around the end of June, and the flood period (achet) lasted until October, covering the land with rich black mud and preparing it for the sowing and growing period (peret). The harvest time (schemu) started at the end of February and ended with the new Nile flood This predictable, ongoing cycle defined the agricultural year.

But there was a problem! The flood came within a range of 80 days with variable intensities .... all in all, not very accurate timing.

Sirius, or Sothis as it was called by the ancient Egyptians, the star who's heliacal rising was in early July 3000 years ago, but due to the wobble of the earth on its axis is now a few weeks later, turned out to be a very reliable predictor of the recurring flood and defined the exact length of the trip of the earth around the sun . (Sirius also revealed the entrance to the tomb of Akhenaton in the novel The Watch Gods by Barbara Wood. )

Answer 2

Flooding of the Nile was an important cycle in Ancient Egypt. It is celebrated by Egyptians today as an annual holiday for two weeks starting August 15, known as Wafaa El-Nil.
Hope this help, Good luck

Answer 3

The runoff from spring rain and melting snow caused the annual summer flood of the Nile. Typically this is July, although the exact day of the month that the Nile flood starts cannot be predicted.

Answer 4

I think its October
