4241 B.C.E.

Location: Egypt
Year: 4241
Great event: Today (July 19 4241 B.C.E.), Egypt has made the first written recording of an event.
The event: The River Nile has flooded.

The Nile is the longest river in the world. Today it has flooded to help grow the crops. It is a great day.
The harvest calander is seperated into three seasons: akhet (Inundation), peret (Growth - Winter) and shemu (Harvest - Summer). During this time in history, at this place in the Old World, most Egyptions are farmers. There are fisherman too, and rulers, but not nearly as many as farmers.
