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.

How do we see the moon if it does not produce light ?
tatiyna

Hello!

We are able to see the moon because the sun shines light onto it. Depending on the location of the moon around the Earth, we can see more or less of it at different times. When the moon is directly across from the sun, we can see a full moon. When the sun is behind the moon, no light is reflecting onto it. This results in a new moon.

I hope this helps you!
