 * Hieroglyphics:**



Ancient Egyptian life revolved around three seasons - Akhet (the inundation, from July to October), //Peret// (the time of plowing and sowing, from November to February), and Shemu (the harvest, from March to June.) Nearly one-third of the population was involved in agriculture, which was vitally important to the well-being of Egypt.

During //Peret//, the Egyptians plowed the fields, planted, and grew their crops. Livestock were used to tread grain into the ground. The goddess Satis was associated with //Peret//.
