Pharaohs in ancient Egypt were buried with wheat
One of the most interesting facts about wheat is that its seeds have been found in the Egyptian tombs of pharaohs. This was first discovered in the 1840s and soon ‘mummy wheat’ became a world sensation when it was claimed that wheat plants could still grow from those millennia-old seeds. The myth was eventually debunked, but it wasn’t until the middle of the 20th century when it became obvious that growing wheat from ancient seeds was not possible.
