Great answer. I answered a similar question a few days ago. This is a Google Earth image of the Tanis area.
One small correction the rain fall in the Delta is slight
Only 100–200 mm (4–8 in) of rain falls on the delta area during an average year, and most of this falls in the winter months.
Versus an average in the US of 30 inches.
I traveled in the Delta in '83, 95 and 2003 and without irrigation all you had was desert scrub and some tamarisk trees.

Thanks. Same was true of the area in 2016 - I suspect the lack of Nile flooding had to do with desert scrubbiness of un-irrigated areas. On the one hand it prevents human disaster, but it wrought havoc on some natural systems.
Yep the poor fellahin were having to borrow money to buy fertilizer. That and dig tunnels down dozens of feet to try and find stuff to loot.

At the end of the day we are still talking about working raw stone no matter how great it is... Think about it.

Their stone tools were a bit crude initially starting with the Oldowan, Acheulean, Mousterian, the Aurignacian and finally to finest quality the Microlithic and neolithic industry.

Of these, I find the Mousterian to be the most interesting by far.
It's fascinating that ancient mice developed stone tools.
