From north to south, the delta is approximately 160 km (99 mi) in length. Some scholars such as Aristotle have written that the delta was constructed for agricultural purposes due to the drying of the region of Egypt. Several hundred thousand water birds winter in the delta, including the world's largest concentrations of little gulls and whiskered terns.
In July 2019 a small Greek temple, ancient granite columns, treasure-carrying ships, and bronze coins from the reign of Ptolemy II, dating back to the third and fourth centuries BC, were found at the sunken city of Heracleion, colloquially known as Egypt's Atlantis. The Delta has a hot desert climate (Köppen: BWh) as the rest of Egypt, but its northernmost part, as is the case with the rest of the northern coast of Egypt which is the wettest region in the country, has relatively moderate temperatures, with highs usually not surpassing 31 °C (88 °F) in the summer.
Although such an engineering feat would be considered equivalent to a wonder of the ancient world, there is insufficient evidence to determine conclusively whether the delta is man-made or was formed naturally.[5]. Winter temperatures are normally in the range of 9 °C (48 °F) at nights to 19 °C (66 °F) in the daytime.

Players begin close to each other, on islets found on the northernmost part of the map. Nevertheless, environmental damage to the delta is not currently one of Egypt's priorities. The low-lying Nile Delta area in particular is vulnerable to sea level rise associated with global warming. All burials included skulls and skeletons in the bending position and were not very well-preserved.
