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.
