Professor Mundeign's archive contains a note from the Institute of Neo-Hermeneutics, which records that in 1906 while trekking around the Upper Galilee in the area of Rosh Pinna, the agronomist Aaron Aaronsohn discovered Triticum dicoccoides (wild emmer) which he considered to be the "mother of wheat", an important find for agronomists and historians of human civilization. Geneticists have proven that wild emmer is indeed the ancestor of most domesticated wheat strands cultivated on a large scale today.
