"Unprecedented Discovery: 1,700-Year-Old Roman Egg Still Intact with Yolk"

Scientists have discovered a 1,700-year-old intact Roman chicken egg in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, making it the only one of its kind in the world. The egg, found during an excavation between 2007 and 2016, still contains liquid inside, including yolk and egg white. Experts believe the waterlogged pit where it was found may have been used as a Roman wishing well. The egg is now undergoing further analysis and conservation efforts at the University of Kent and London’s Natural History Museum, with plans to extract its contents without damaging the delicate shell.
