Um al-Dunya - Egypt has one of the oldest civilizations in human history. Researches say that watermelons as we know them were domesticated by the people of old Egypt. Several pictures on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs represent what appears to be watermelons, and in 1876 the leaves of the fruit were recovered from inside of a tomb that dated back 3,500 years.
