Pharaoh psammetichus linguistic experiment; Psametician language test. The Pharaoh Psammetichus wanted to know which language is the oldest in the world and left two newborn children in silence, separate educate. The first word that the children said was Bèkos, frygic for bread. Psammetichus decided that the Frygian should be the oldest language. The two children sit on the ground and gestures to the pharaoh. The pharaoh, a shepherd, and other people of the court look at the children.
