The King Psammetichos of Egypt decided which languages, Egyptian or Phrygian, was the older by believing that a baby reared without exposure to language would speak the original language of man, the king commanded that two children be raised completely isolated from speech. One day, one of the children uttered a sound which sounded like "bekos." Because this sound happened to correspond to a word which meant "bread" in the Phrygian language, the king decided that Phrygian was older than Egyptian.
