00:00Think you know ancient Egypt? Think again! Prepare for two mind-blowing facts that redefine their
00:06incredible genius. Did you know ancient Egyptians might have been the first to see inside a mother's
00:12belly? Thousands of years before modern sonar. Using a unique method involving barley and wheat
00:19grains mixed with urine, they attempted to determine pregnancy and even the fetus's gender.
00:25Barley sprouting meant a boy, wheat a girl, and no growth indicated no pregnancy. A truly ingenious
00:32early attempt at biological detection. And here's another shocker. Ancient Egyptians were sports
00:39pioneers. Not just that, but women were at the forefront. They were among the first to play ball
00:45games, possibly an early form of football. Beyond that, Egyptian women were depicted engaging in
00:52active sports like tug-of-ball, archery, and even stick dueling. We see these incredible
00:58scenes on tomb walls, like in the tomb of King Omanhat, proving their athleticism. Follow me
01:05for more hidden history.
