When king Alexander wanted to build a city in Egypt, his architect Dinocrates, having no chalk handy, marked out the outline of the future city with barley groats; on which a vast number of birds emerged from the lake nearby and devoured the groats. This was interpreted by the Egyptian priests as signifying that the city would have enough food for a great influx of population.
