You are sent back in time to Mesopotamia, about a century before Sumeria. You're put with a tribe of ~100 and can communicate with them perfectly. With you is a palm pilot that will never run out of power containing the all modern knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology and geology as well as a map of the area listing all useful mineral deposits. You're immortal but not invinceible and immune to disease, and your tribe will not catch anything from you.
What shit goes down?

How is chemistry, physics, biology, and geology going to help me when all I need to know how to do is grow food? My poor tribe will risk much trying to figure out how and what to farm. I'd instead decide to build a mighty hunter/gatherer barbarian horde and take over the cities of Sumer once they develop so I get the existing infastructure to build off of. This would get really boring really fast, though.

Advanced agriculture techniques are included under biology. And the tribe is already farming.

Well, I am, to them, a God. Let's establish that right off the bat. Or, even better, I'm God's emissary, so they won't pull any crazy shit like impaling me to test the veracity of my statement.
That said, it's time to bring them up to speed on agriculture and irrigation and such. Once that's done with, and others flock to my growing city-state, call forth the banners, make with the bronze weapons, and spread across Mesopotamia like a flood.
