"Back in the day, Egyptians had pregnancy tests. So women at the time who thought they were pregnant would urinate on barley or wheat seeds. If they urinated on barley, it was for a boy. And if they urinated on wheat seed, it was a girl. And if the plant ended up sprouting and growing, you were pregnant. And then in today's time, they went and tested this and 70% of the time they would be pregnant. They also did it on non-pregnant women and the plant didn't grow."
