What kind of climate does the Sahara

desert have?

Is this the same as our weather?

How would that effect farming?

Egypt had a hot climate

This meant they could grown more

exotic foods like grapes, figs, water

melons, dates, pomegranates,

pumpkins, plums and many other fruits.

They could also grown nuts and

vegetables like lentils and beans

The Nile flows through Egypt

What food do you think was plentiful?

Watch to see how they separate the

grain

How they make their bread

And what extra ingredient they had in

their bread……

Roast beef, with olives

Lamb stew with lentils and peas

Glass of wine

Glass of beer

Coconuts, dates and figs

All served on golden plates. Have as

much as you like!

Salted fish

Unleavened bread

Onions

Glass of beer

Served on clay plates.

the rich person?

Why?

Which would your favourite meal have

been?
