>  Cotton has been selectively bred for 6000 years, it would be interesting to 
see what it looked like then.  I am amazed at the difference in corn fields from 
the Civil War era to now.

Unfortunatly I do not think Cotton was cultivated in Egypt, or you might
get your wish.  Seeds from a number of plants (like wheat) have been
found in Egyptian Pyramids, and then planted in modern times to find out
what it was like then?

Maybe cotton might be one of those...
