To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In such work in old Egypt there were always " overseers " to direct the work- men, and to see that they kept at work. In our picture there is such an overseer, and also a man sowing seed. After the seed was sown they did a strange thing. Instead of harrowing the ground, as we do, to cover up the seed, they turned a flock of goats into the field, and drove them around and around until they had trodden in the seed. As there is no rain in Egypt, the fields and orchards had to be very carefully wat...ered.
The water was taken from the river or from the tanks which had been filled when the river was high. It was carried by men in buckets hung to the end of a pole that they carried across their shoulders, and was emptied into little channels or tubes running through the fields. J n Egypt, wheat and barley grew rapidly, and before long the grain was ready for the harvest. The wheat was cut just below the ear, and was carried to some part of the field where a smooth, round place had been cleaned and swept for a threshing floor.
