The Egyptians were the first people to have some knowledge in prime numbers. Though, the earliest known record are Euclid's Elements, which contain the important theorem of prime numbers. The Ancient Greeks, including Euclid, were the first people to find prime numbers. Euclid constructed the Mersenne prime to work out the infinite number of primes.
