Answer :
The Egyptian language word Akhet is both a hieroglyph and an Ancient Egyptian season. The two uses for akhet: In ancient Egyptian, the place where the sun rises and sets; often translated as "horizon" or "mountain of light".
The "Akhet season" ran approximately from mid-July to mid-November in Ancient Egypt, and was followed by Peret and Shemu. It is the first of three seasons of the ancient Egyptian calendar--the inundation season. This was the time of the Egyptian calendar year when the Nile waters flooded farmland and brought much nutrients to the tilled soil.
