Ancient Egyptian Medicine
Found this while searching for something else and figured I 'd share.

I wonder how accurate this pregnancy test from the Berlin Papyrus was:
This contains the earliest known pregnancy test of "barley and emmer". " ... The woman must moisten it with urine every day ... if both grow, she will give birth. If the barley grows it means a male child. If the emmer grows it will mean a female child. If neither grows, she will not give birth."
Not even EPT can determine the sex. :)
