UK researchers ‘blown away’ after discovering 1,700-year-old egg still contains yolk: report | Fox News

Archaeologists in the U.K. were shocked to learn that a 1,700-year-old Ancient Roman egg discovered in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire still had a yolk inside, according to reports.

The discovery of the egg was announced in December 2019, after archaeologists with Oxford Archaeology completed a dig in Aylesbury between 2007 and 2016.

The experts found a basket containing four eggs in a waterlogged pit, which they believe may have been used as a “wishing well.” However, when the eggs were removed from the environment, three of the eggs broke, and they let off what was described as a “potent stench.” 

The remaining egg survived, and according to the BBC, it underwent a micro-CT scan that revealed what was inside.
