Who were Ancient Egyptian Farmers?

The ancient egyptain working class was made up of farmers, merchants, and other laborers. The farmers played a large role in society and played a key role in The Bible as well. Even though the country of Egypt is assosiated with being hot and a desert the area of near the Nile river was quite fertile. Farmers often had planted crops near this area. They grew grain, cotton, grapes. Dates were popular and were grown as well. However dates often gave the egyptains tooth decay (found on their teeth when examied). They made bread and also raised animals. they stored their grain in warehouses as well as traded it with other countries.
