Abstract:
Agriculture, or as it is called, is the agricultural revolution as it changed human life in the ancient world in all its aspects. Before agriculture, man was a traveler who did not know stability and relied on his strength to collect what is accessible from plants or animals. It crystallizes in man and changed his life to economic, social and religious. The ancient Egypt was an important cultural center in the ancient Near East, which achieved an important civilization achievement for the Egyptian human life. It could not achieve this achievement without the availability of a geographical environment suitable for agriculture. The first is the availability of sufficient water to the Nile River, Agriculture .We can not say that the conditions of the geographical environment in ancient Egypt led only to agriculture. We do not underestimate the role of the Egyptian man, who was able to employ these different environmental factors to serve agriculture. Saying : "Learn not one is born a Scientist "( ) The second innovation that was associated with the establishment of agriculture was what the Egyptian produced and invented from machines and tools that facilitated agriculture. He also succeeded in controlling the flood of the Nile River and faced another important problem namely water scarcity. He tried to store the water at the time of the flood , And thus moved to rely on industrial irrigation and mechanization by raising water to agricultural land.Research problem . Was the problem of research in the important question, was agriculture in ancient Egypt, a local innovation or it entered Egypt as a result of friction and the transfer of the old man with other centers of civilization, and whether agriculture in ancient Egypt was contemporaneous with agriculture in the important cultural centers in the ancient Near East, , And the Levant. The extent of the oldest fossils found from wheat and barley grains, whether they are domesticated or natural spread in many areas of the ancient Near East, these questions we tried to answer in this research. The importance of the subject is due to the lack of a study on agriculture in ancient Egypt, one of the important elements of civilization, this subject prompted us to research it and try to clarify its different aspects. The method used in the research, the nature of the subject, requires us to diversify in the testing of a research method, when we want to know the origins of plants, we need to take a comparative approach to know where these grains and spread, and sometimes take the descriptive approach in the description of machines and agricultural tools, To reach the closest scientific opinion to put it right in the research and discussion. According to the requirements of the completion of the research topic section into four chapters and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the factors affecting the start and development of agriculture in the Nile Valley, which is divided into four fields. The first topic is : The climate and its impact on the start and development of agriculture in ancient Egypt. The second topic : Agricultural lands in the Nile Valley countries. The second chapter deals with the beginning of agriculture and its development, which is also divided into three topics : the first is : agriculture in prehistoric times, the second topic : the development of agriculture in historical times, and the third topic : agricultural operations, , Chapter III : Care in the Department of Agriculture and Irrigation, also divided into three areas, the first topic : the management of agricultural land, the second topic : Department of Irrigation, the third topic : the farmer in ancient Egypt and its social status. In this chapter, we observed the extent to which agriculture reflected the religious life of the ancient Egyptian. This chapter is divided into three sections, namely, the first topic : Goddesses and Feast of Fertility, and the second topic : the gods and the festivals of the harvest and its rituals. The third topic : gods of water and flood .
