When in the summer the sun blazed mercilessly and the whole country seemed to suffocate in the heat of the heat and the sands of the desert, the waters of the Nile rose and flooded the thirsty gardens and fields with great waves of water. When, after a few months, the Nile was falling, the receding waters left fertile silt for new sowing and harvesting. From the period of the Middle Kingdom (2000—1700 p.n.e.) excellent paintings depicting work in the vegetable garden have been preserved. The bouquet of flowers placed in the young pharaoh Tutsnkhamonov and in the golden coffin also entered the history of culture 1350 lat p.n.e. - in the 20th century, these flowers saw the light of day again.
