Yes, basically this. Nothing out of ordinary happened, you can't increase food production indefinitely with the same amount of land.
Also worth noting is that the "Egypt agriculture degenerated" is a racist take, because after it there is inevitably either clear or unspoken blaming Arabs for this "degeneration". Sometimes as cherry on top you can also find white pharaohs myth nearby.
I'm confused, did you mean to insinuate that I made this claim? I just said Egyptian technology was very advanced during bronze age. I didn't say it "degenerated".
No, you didn't, but "what happened to Egypt agriculture" is very often asked just before the main dish. So it's good you don't intend to go further than that.
ah I see what you mean.
Also i now confused you with the guy who asked the question, i meant my answer as addendum to yours which i agree with.
Well I "insinuated that Egypt's agriculture degenerated" due to remembering Egypt getting invaded by colonial forces several times. Plus AFAIK they had quite a turmoil during the "Arab Spring" wave a few years back. Surely such events don't help local economy?
They do, but as if people peddling those myths care about something as insignificant as few years of time for rebuilding. Or few decades. Of few millenia in some cases. In the face of occasion to smear some Arabs? They mean it PERMANENTLY degenerated because Arabs.
Just wanted to point that it was not my intention when asking the original question. Otherwise I understand you
No problem, the question was legit, since that bit about Egypt is very often said by western media.
