🏺 Ancient Pregnancy Tests: From Wheat & Barley Seeds 🌾
Going way back to 1350 B.C.E., Egyptian women used an interesting method to check if they were pregnant 🤰. They would urinate on wheat 🌾 and barley 🌾 seeds—if the wheat grew, it predicted a girl 👧, and if the barley sprouted, it meant a boy 👶. If nothing grew, it meant the woman wasn't pregnant 🚫. A 1963 experiment confirmed this ancient technique was right 70% of the time! 🔬 facts fun fact history
