Farms on the NileBy Raina Rindani

IntroductionEgyptian farmers used several

domesticated animals. Boys and girls each had different tasks. Egyptians also innovated many items for the purpose of irrigation. In addition, they performed many manual tasks on the farm together.

Oxen were used for pulling plows

Pigs and sheep were used for pushing seeds firmly into the soil

Donkeys were used to thresh grains with their hooves
