The rapid increase in Egypt’s population prompted an intensification of cultivation almost without parallel elsewhere. To make best use of the waters of the Nile river, the Egyptians developed systems of irrigation. Irrigation allowed the Egyptians to use the Nile's waters for a variety of purposes. Irrigation granted them greater control over their agricultural practices. He Egyptians grew a variety of crops for consumption, including grains, vegetables and fruits. However, their diets revolved around several staple crops, especially cereals and barley. Barley was grown with the intent of later being fermented to make beer. Other staples for the majority of the population included beans, lentils, and later chickpeas and fava beans. Root crops, such as onions, garlic and radishes were grown, along with salad crops, such as lettuce and parsley.[2]

Ancient Egyptians also used animals to hunt other animals, greyhound dogs were popular and tame cheetahs may have been used in the hunt. The Pharaoh usually hunted gazelle, antelope, ibex. A mass amount of animals were killed with a volley of arrows or killed when vulnerable near a watering hole. menkar79 https://padlet.com/romolo_tozzi/2qk2o35z1bik/wish/308706225

Egyptologist Margaret Bunson notes that dogs "were probably domesticated in Egypt in the Pre-Dynastic eras" and they "served as hunters and as companions for the Egyptians and some mentioned their hounds in their mortuary texts". An early tomb painting dated to c. 3500 BCE shows a man walking his dog on a leash in a scene recognizable to anyone in the modern day.
The dog collar and leash were most likely developed by the Sumerians earlier although evidence for both of these in Mesopotamia appears later than 3500 BCE in objects like a golden Saluki pendant from Ur dated to 3300 BCE. It is probable, however, that the Sumerians - among their many other inventions - also created the dog collar and leash since the dog was domesticated earlier in that region than in Egypt

Fishing rods were generally not used, nor were floats alerting the angler to a catch. Instead, the fisherman supported the line with his outstretched index finger, feeling even the smallest tugs at the bait. ]]> 2018-11-28 16:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/romolo_tozzi/2qk2o35z1bik/wish/308874181
