Question

A medieval structure for monitoring these events was built under caliph Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik at Roda. Other structures for monitoring these events included flights of stairs and walls marked out in cubits. During Li Zicheng's campaign against the Ming Dynasty, one of these events destroyed (*) Kaifeng. A season called akhet was named for coinciding with one of these events. A regular cycle of these events ended in the 1970s with the completion of a project championed by Gamal Abdel Nasser.
