Archaeologists discovered some seeds in a vase sealed in an Egyptian Pharaoh's tomb. When the tomb was excavated, the vase was taken to the British Museum. The seeds, which were dried and wrinkled and hard as stone, were carefully planted under glass. After thirty days, they had spouted and were growing very nicely - even though they were over three thousand years old!

Nature provides many examples of new life springing out of death. A seed is "dead" until acted upon by water and nutrients in the soil. Without them the seed will never come to new life.
