One of the first records of famine was carved in granite by _

Explanation

"One of the first records of famine was carved in granite by an Egyptian pharaoh."Here's why:- "an" is used before "Egyptian pharaoh" because it starts with a vowel sound /i/, and "an" is used before nouns starting with a vowel sound.- Using "an" implies that the speaker is referring to any Egyptian pharaoh, rather than a specific one.
