Peret was from November through march, or the planting season. Shemu was march through July, or the harvesting season. In Akhet (July to November) the nile would flood (inundation).
communicatiThe Ancient Egyptian year begins in June, and there are three seasons. The firsst season is known at shait, or the season of inundation. From the middle of July through Octobor the waters of the nile rise, bringing with them the precious silt that makes the soil fertile.
Peret is the season of emergence or birth. During Peret the floods from Ahket recede and all the land that seems hidden emerges again. When this happens the nile gets narrower then in Ahket. The farmers are free from building sculptures and are sent back to the fields to farm. This is a great time to farm because the floods of Ahket left behind rich black silt, one of the many gifts of the Nile. Livestock could find new grass to graze on. During Peret slaves would rebuild structures and canals that were destroyed in the floods.
