Temple of Kom Ombo
The water level in the well was used to determine taxes for the local population.
If the well was dry, no taxes as it indicated a draught. The higher the water the more tax, unless the well was full, which indicated flooding and again no taxes. (5 years and 2588 days ago)
really nice view
I think it should have a medium line for height which indicates the maximum tax
where is it located?
Egypt, and it's thousands of years old.
