Its also the ancient greeks who raised wheat above the head of the priest and made chants for three hours,\n\nwheat of course was one of the first crops man made in his garden deliberately grow, and this by definition, made him a farmer.

The majority of Egypitans were involved with either agriculture or craftsman type work (i.e. potters, metalworkers, tentmakers, etc.).  Since agriculture in Egypt is highly seasonal and based on the flooding of the Nile, it has come to be accepted that the agricultural workforce was transferred to monument building during the non-harvest season.

"The first African civilization after Egypt was built by an Egyptianized people who lived between the Nile River's first and third cataracts and spoke Nilo-Saharan languages. This region around the first cataract, called Nubia, had been conquered and colonized by Egypt in the fourth millenium BC. Because of this, Egyptian civilization diffused southward and a new African kingdom was built up in the floodplain around the Nile's third cataract: the Kush. Their capital city was Kerma and it served as the major trading center for goods travelling north from the southern regions of Africa. \n\n"Kush attained its greatest power and cultural energy between 1700 and 1500 BC during the Third Intermediate period in Egypt. The domination of Egypt by the Hyksos allowed Kush to come out from under the hegemony of Egypt and flower as a culture; this period ended, however, when the New Kingdom kings, having thrown the Hyksos out of Egypt, reconquered Kush and brought it under Egyptian colonial rule."\n\nMuch more at the article linked below.

Acacia raddiana -- this is a common desert acacia that is conspicuous in the Mt Sinai area. It is still used (well, was recorded as in use in the 1952 book) today by semi-nomadic peoples who use it for firewood and cattle feed. The wood is described as "very hard, close-grained and durable, orange-brown in color, very splendid for and still highly valued in cabinet-work" (1952 book)

Look up the Egyptians. The Nile was extremely integral to their way of living. It was basically a desert with a giant river. Image a desert with no water. They wouldn't be able to survive.

The Nile still supports much of the population of Africans living along its banks, as well as Egyptians, the latter living between otherwise inhospitable regions of the Sahara. The river flooded every summer, depositing fertile soil on the fields. The flow of the river is disturbed at several points by cataracts, which are sections of faster-flowing water with many small islands, shallow water, and rocks, forming an obstacle to navigation by boats. The sudd in the Sudan also forms a formidable obstacle for navigation and flow of water, to the extent that Egypt had once attempted to dig a canal (the Jongeli Canal) to improve the flow of this stagnant mass of water (also known as Lake No).\n\nThe Nile was, and still is, used to transport goods to different places along its long path; especially since winter winds in this area blow up river, the ships could travel up with no work by using the sail, and down using the flow of the river. While most Egyptians still live in the Nile valley, the construction of the Aswan High Dam (finished in 1970) to provide hydroelectricity ended the summer floods and their renewal of the fertile soil.\n\nCities on the Nile include Khartoum, Aswan, Luxor (Thebes), and the Giza–Cairo conurbation. The first cataract, the closest to the mouth of the river, is at Aswan to the north of the Aswan Dams. The Nile north of Aswan is a regular tourist route, with cruise ships and traditional wooden sailing boats known as feluccas. In addition, many "floating hotel" cruise boats ply the route between Luxor and Aswan, stopping in at Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way. It used to be possible to sail on these boats all the way from Cairo to Aswan, but security concerns have shuts down the northernmost portion for many years.

From about 6000 BC various communities of hunter-gatherers make the Nile and Egypt the centre of their territory, around which they roam. But the drying of the Sahara increasingly confines them to the river area. The unusual habit of this great river - flooding every year and depositing a layer of rich moist soil on the surrounding region - is ideally suited to the development of settled agriculture. The river takes upon itself two otherwise laborious tasks, irrigation and the enriching of the soil.\n\nBy about 3100 BC these communities have become sufficiently prosperous and stable to be united in a single political entity - the first Egyptian dynasty.\n  \nThe first dynasty: from c.3100 BC\nThe unifying of Upper and Lower Egypt into a single kingdom is the event pointed to by the ancient Egyptians themselves as the beginning of their civilization. \nWhatever the name, the first historical dynasty is brought into being by the king or pharaoh who in about 3100 BC establishes control over the whole navigable length of the Nile. His is the first of thirty Egyptian dynasties, spanning nearly three millennia - an example of social continuity rivalled in human history only by China.\n\nNo one knows the name of this first dynasty definitively. King Narmer is thought to have reigned c. 3150 BCE as first king of the 1st dynasty (and/or last king of the 0 dynasty) of a unified ancient Egypt. But it is unclear if he actually existed.

Oh, yes.  The desert, the dry heat, all that sand . . . Moses was a picker, too.

Edible bananas originated in the Indo-Malaysian region reaching to northern Australia. Bananas and plantains are today grown in every humid tropical region and constitute the 4th largest fruit crop of the world. World production is estimated to be 28 million tons—65% from Latin America, 27 % from Southeast Asia, and 7 % from Africa.India is the leading banana producer in Asia.\n\nThe orange is cultivated over thousands of years now. It is supposed to originate from South- and indo-China.Brazil produces more oranges than any other country, followed by the United States, China, Spain and Mexico.

The Nile Valley has been a site of continuous human habitation since at least the Paleolithic. Traces of these early peoples appear in the form of artifacts and rock carvings along the terraces of the Nile and in the desert oases. In the 10th millennium BC, a grain-grinding culture using the earliest type of sickle blades had been replaced by another culture of hunter-gatherers and fishers using stone tools. Climate changes and/or overgrazing around 8000 BC began to desiccate the pastoral lands of Egypt, eventually forming the Sahara. Early tribal peoples migrated to the Nile River where they developed a settled agricultural economy and more centralized society.[4]\n\nWiki loves you.
