Berlin Papyrus
It has been dated between 1350 and 1200 B.C.
It deals with childbirth and infants.
It contains a test for pregnancy, which recognized that urine carried the pregnancy factor. It calls for steeping some wheat and some barley in her urine. If the wheat sprouts, it will be a boy, if the barley sprouts, it will be a girl.
In 1963, Ghalioungui found that, whilst urine from non-pregnant women prevented the growth of (modern) barley and wheat, it proved impossible to detect the sex of an unborn child from the rate of growth of either grain, possibly because the grains and the soils were both different in ancient Egypt. Nevertheless, the fact that the Egyptians recognized that urine carried the pregnancy factor was remarkable. The standardization of reliable urine tests for pregnancy did not occur until 1929.
It is astounding to know that this Egyptian recipe found its way to Europe, for in an ingenious book of the seventeenth century, Peter Boyer wrote, "Make two holes in the ground, throw barley into one and wheat into the other, then pour into both the water of the pregnant woman, and cover them up again with earth. If the wheat shoots up before the barley, it will be a boy, but if the barley comes up first, thou must expect a daughter."
There is also a little English book, called "The Experienced Midwife," in which this recipe appears, in a somewhat modified form.
Mr. Gadalla is a knowledgeable engineer who succeeded to mix art, history, philosophy, science and theology in his seven books in a palatable cocktail, which is truly exceptional. His seven books look at figures, words, architecture, art, and symbols in a novel fashion.
I recommend this book to every person who would rather learn from evidence, than from stories. While religious stories from the distant past often invoke awe and deep spirituality for a lot of people, these same people should not necessarily ignore the sources of these sacred stories. In this book, the author does not tell Christians to stop believing in Christ, nor does he tell those who are inspired by the life stories of Jesus Christ, Moses and David to stop being inspired. What he does in the book is reveal information that has been deliberately hidden by those who do not want people to know from where their deep spirituality and beliefs originated. Egypt.
The author presents for us facts about the Bible and Egyptian history from numerous sources with explanations, and references that people can go verify on their own, rather than a "believe what I preach, because that is just the way it is" sort of dictatorship.
When evidence is laid out, it is difficult to deny, even for the skeptical, and for the biased Egyptologist. When ancient Egyptian history is compared with the Biblical stories that came later, and also compared with Greek history and mythology, the evidence is clear.
In the book, one will discover the truth about fundamental entities such as the Ten Commandments, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Hebrews in Egypt, Biblical passages, and the major impact of Egypt on today's societies.
Read with an open mind what the author had researched and uncovered about the original and Biblical stories of Jesus, Moses, David, and read about Ausar (Osiris), Auset (Isis), Heru (Horus) and Set (Satan). The book is not a threat to anybody's religion.
It just tells the history as it was. People have often attempted to rewrite history, but they cannot change history. Whether truth is accepted or rejected, it will always be truth, and will eventually be revealed.
