The ancient Egyptians were thus able to produce an abundance of food, allowing the population to devote more time and resources to cultural, technological, and artistic pursuits. Land management was crucial in ancient Egypt because taxes were assessed based on the amount of land a person owned. Farming in Egypt was dependent on the cycle of the Nile River. The Egyptians recognized three seasons: Akhet (flooding), Peret (planting), and Shemu (harvesting). The flooding season lasted from June to September, depositing on the river's banks a layer of mineral-rich silt ideal for growing crops.
Take as one example stuffed pork chops, 3/4 inch thick. These should take around 30 minutes in a 350 F oven to complete baking, so that the stuffing cooks through. Unstuffed, thinner pork chops take less time, and thicker pork chops take longer.

Depending on the thickness of the chops, they may need additional time.hoto Credit Amy Morris/Demand Media. Slide the pork chops into the oven and bake them for an additional 6 to 10 minutes.
