Ancient Egypt: Advancements In Farming

The society had two main calendars. One calendar was called tzolkin, the sacred or ritual calendar. It predicted the "...ceremonial life of the people."(Doc D) The other was called haab, the civil/solar calendar. The civil/ solar predicted the weather, and unlucky days for the year. Both of these calendar cycles were used together. "They were like two cogged wheels, revolving alongside each other, with the cogs (days) meshing as the wheels turned." (Doc D) The Mayan calendars were far more accurate and more advanced than any other New World people. Document D also informs us that "Observatories were built, at Chicen Itza and other cities, to use in studying the movements of the sun and the moon, planets such as Venus and Mars, and the

The calendar had 12 months, 365 days, and a leap year. It was the most accurate calendar at the time it was invented. It was used in

The calendar was based on the sun it tracked the 365 day year and would tell when seasonal events would likely occur. The mayans also created a ritual calendar which was a calendar that was a cycle of 260 days, and it marked the ceremonial life of the people.This two

Agriculture was the backbone of Ancient Egypt, shaping its economy, allowing for more job positions and specialization. It also made the presence of trade more viable in the ancient Egyptian society by allowing the Egyptians to coast up and down the River with the goods they were going to trade (doc C). Without the Nile, they never would have been able to trade as easily as they could with the Nile (doc A). The Nile also allowed for less complex irrigation as the Egyptians had been able to determine the flood patterns because the Nile River was more predictable. The Nile also allowed to the Egyptians to produce a surplus of food, creating a surplus of food. This began the beginning of the move from subsistence agriculture, changing and reshaping the way the Egyptians had previously

Reggie enjoys learning how to utilize technology. During this quarter, Reggie is currently enrolled in a cognitive enhancement therapy (CET). CET course is taking place here at the DRC every Tuesday afternoon from 12:30PM- 3:15PM. Reggie has a very good attendance and his participation is good. On the other hand, Reggie has not been working on finding employment. He fairs that if he finds a job there might be a possibility that he might be tempted to go back to his old ways. Therefore, he chooses not to seek employment. During this quarter, the staff encouraged Reggie to sees volunteer opportunities in the community where he will be get pay, but gain experience by giving back to the community.

They had a number of tools for example, they had winnowing scoops, mattocks, flint-bladed sickles and plows. The plow had a very small handmade blade that didn’t cut deep because of their very fertile soil. The Egyptians that actually did all of the hard work were the rich peasants. The Pharaoh made them do all the farming because he or she had the say in who does what. The peasants were either working on harvesting the crops or someone who gathered the remains of crops. In the end, Egyptians used tools to help them farm.

The ancient Egyptians used animals and tools to plant and harvest their crops. They had cattle, goats, pigs, ducks, cows, and geese to help farm. They used these animals to trample seeds, to pull plows and to eat unwanted wheat. The ancient egyptians also used sickles, scoops, plows, and winnowing scoops. They used these tools to harvest their crops. Tools and animals were used to farm in ancient egypt.

The creation of calendars has helped different people of different cultures to reflect time within their cultures. However, the issue for these people was: How would they be able to use what is around them to give the passage of time to their people? Well since the beginning of time cultures like the Mayans, Egyptians, or to the time of Julius Caesar, have learned how to use scientific ways that fit under lunar, solar or lunisolar methods. And because of the methods used by these peoples, we were able to develop the calendar we use now, the Julian calendar.

Ancient Egypt is one of the earliest civilizations in the world. Beginning with their Predynastic Period in circa 5000 BCE, the Egyptians began to cultivate their way of life. Independently ruling until the conquest of Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, the Egyptians continued to influence and be influenced by other cultures, like the Greeks and Romans. However, unlike the Greeks, the Egyptians incorporated their religious thinking into everyday life, believing that the sky was the heavens and the sun, moon, and stars were gods. During the thousands of years the ancient Egyptians lived, they developed calendars and constellations that inspired later calendars until the calendar that is used today was created. The ancient Egyptians used astronomy to create calendars, believing that the sun and the stars were their gods.

Ancient Egypt was a very advanced civilization which has impacted how the human race has evolved over time, although some elements of this civilization were not very advanced. The agriculture in ancient Egypt was very sophisticated, as the farmers used the Nile river to help them produce more crops. Every year the banks of the river overflowed, leaving behind rich, dark soil, which was especially good for farming. Even though ancient Egypt was a particularly hot country in which almost no rain fell, farmers grew crops for the majority of the year by irrigating their land. They also built canals which carried water from the Nile to their fields. Architecture in ancient Egypt was also very complex as the ancient Egyptians found ways to build

Back then things were different, there were different cultures such as the Maya, Aztecs, Stonehenge, etc. It is said that from the ancient cultures the Maya were more accurately developed, in other words they were better in some things such as astronomy. Besides the fact that they had their own beliefs they decided to create a calendar of their own. Till this day the Mayan calendar is well known. The article mentions that they’re calendar had complex in them. Their skills were truly high when making such calendar. Their calendar is nothing to a calendar that we know, theirs contained 18 months and 20 days, it also related to the planets. It would share the position of certain planets and about the seasons. Furthermore, Mayans didn't have any

Ancient Egypt severely depended on the flooding of the Nile River to take place every year thus allowing their fields to be irrigated and from this flooding, silt was also used as a fertilizer. Religion played a vital role in farming as well. The people of Ancient Egypt lived and died by it. It really helped to know the cycle of astronomy which made the priests able to predict the weather and other repeated events. Knowing this information empowered the priests to create belief systems that the Gods understood and that if they worshipped those beliefs, they would survive

| The development of the calendar was based on their observations and studies of the stars, moon, and sky. They also established a number system; a year was cut into 12 months, a month into 30 days, a day into 12 hours, an hour into 60 minutes, and a minute into 60 seconds. They also divided a circle into 360 degrees of the 60 arc minutes. Settlement patterns were based on the environment of the area and the need for a stable water supply.

The discovery and details that we’ve known in the ancient calendars through the Stonehenge, shows the beliefs and references on the moon and the stars. In addition, the ancient civilization relied on motion of bodies through the sky to determine the date of month and season. Similarly, Egyptian Calendars have determined their calendars on the moon cycle but had been changed after the discovery of the “Dog Star”. Beforehand, the Babylonians had 354 day year. Also, the Mayans had also relied on the planet, Venus. The calendar structure and culture of the Mayans had

Using their geometry, they were able to survey and preserve the layout and ownership of farmland, which was flooded annually by the Nile River. Through the use of ancient irrigation techniques and technology the Egyptians were able to water the growing fields? They invented a tooled called the “shaduf” and used it, along with canals, to move the water to where it was required. The shaduf is a bucket, bag or basket at the end of a pole. It balanced on a frame and has a heavy weight attached at the other end.
