This season started in June.In the flooding season, the peasants didn’t work in their owners fields, but they worked on the pharaohs monuments and temples. This season started in June.

5. The Planting Season In the planting season, they did exactly what it says. They planted their crops in their land owners fields. In their free time (they didn’t have a lot of it) the men played a game where they tried to knock each other off the logs in the river. This season started in October.In the planting season, they did exactly what it says. They planted their crops in their land owners fields.

7. What Role Did Music Play In The Work Of The Peasants? When they were working in any season, they sang to make the time go faster. They pretty much just wanted time to go faster.

8. What Were Possible Punishments Or Rewards For Peasants During Harvest Season? If they didn’t have enough crops to pay their taxes, they could be brutally beaten. If they had a good harvest season, their land owners would let them take as much left over crops as they could.If they didn’t have enough crops to pay their taxes, they could be brutally beaten.
