Yeah they had less lead in their environment. They probably were actually smarter, just had less access to foundational knowledge

Less lead, but probably more malnutrition and disease.

God: I intended more lead. I fixed the bug.

Egypt was very fertile and had food surpluses, many societies that build cool shit had food surpluses.
