This fertile soil was then ploughed and seeded.Shemu (March-May): The Harvesting Season.The fully grown crops had to be cut down (harvested) and removed before the Nile flooded again. It was also the time to repair the canals ready for the next flood.
What was the ancient Egypt weather like in the month of Peret?
Peret is the season of emergence or birth. During Peret the floods from Ahket recede and all the land that seems hidden emerges again. When this happens the nile gets narrower then in Ahket. The farmers are free from building sculptures and are sent back to the fields to farm. This is a great time to farm because the floods of Ahket left behind rich black silt, one of the many gifts of the Nile. Livestock could find new grass to graze on. During Peret slaves would rebuild structures and canals that were destroyed in the floods.
