NILEOMETER. Temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt 2015
The Nileometer at Kom Ombo. This was used in ancient times to measure the height of the annual flood. If it was a good flood and the fields were covered, it meant a high tax was imposed. If it was a poor flood and the fields remained dry, it meant less or no tax at all.
