The ancient Egyptians had 3 seasons; Inundation, Emergence, and Harvest. During Inundation, the Nile River would flood for many days. Then, when Emergence came, the land would emerge from the floodwater rich and perfect for farming. This is because the Nile leaves silt behind when it drains back into the river, which makes the land rich and fertile.
