The story of KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat began in 1949, when Earl Dedman, a US Airman stationed in Portugal, received some unusual looking grain from a friend who claimed to have taken it from a tomb in Egypt. More likely, the friend had purchased it from a street vendor in Cairo, Egypt with the story that it had come from an ancient Egyptian tomb. Earl sent thirty-six kernels of the wheat to his father, R. E. Dedman, a farmer near Fort Benton, Montana. Within six years, the elder Dedman had grown the small number of seeds into 1,500 bushels, calling it “King Tut’s Wheat.”

Keep on growing

Last year it came to light that the earliest Chinese cultivation of tea occurred at least 6000 years ago, getting back there:

It boggles the mind, doesn't it, that people were farming as far prior to the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans as they were earlier than us. Then again the ancient Egyptians had agriculture and making pottery and the rest up and running 7500 years ago, and this is just the earliest example of cultivated tea being found, and the Chinese were doing early forms of agriculture 9000 years ago (per Wikipedia, the lazy person's source of all partially correct knowledge).
