The earliest iron working in Africa is found in Egypt.
A. True
B. False

The statement is False; the earliest iron working in sub-Saharan Africa predates that in Egypt. The Nok culture in Nigeria started iron smelting around 1000 BC, while Egypt's significant iron use began later, around 600 BC. Therefore, sub-Saharan Africa was the pioneering region for iron working in the continent.

The earliest iron working in Africa is actually found in sub-Saharan regions, particularly in West Africa, and not in Egypt, making the statement false. Evidence suggests that cultures like the Nok in Nigeria were working with iron much earlier than Egypt. Thus, Egypt's role, while significant, was not the first in African iron metallurgy. ;
