Ancient Egyptians were among the first groups of people to practice agriculture on a large scale.
Notes on verification
Multiple reputable sources (World History Encyclopedia, National Geographic Education, BlackPast) independently corroborate the claim. The verification correctly notes the qualifier 'among the first' rather than 'the first', which accurately reflects the simultaneous development of agriculture in multiple regions. Dating and geographical context are consistently supported across sources.
