British archaeologists have discovered whole eggs, which, according to their statement, have lain in the ground since the time of the Roman Empire.
The find is more like smooth stones. At the same time, their contents still remained inside the shell, explains the statement of Steward Forman, an archaeologist from Oxford and the head of the excavations at Burrifields, the publication Popular Mechanics.
Foreman admitted that the find was so unexpected that scientists even broke one egg for the purposes of the experiment.
Initially, the pit, in which the eggs were, was used by the Romans for malting and brewing. But later it was turned into a kind of “well of desires” and thrown in coins, as well as small things for good luck.
The smell of these eggs was difficult to describe. According to archaeologists, the stench is unbearable.
Recall that earlier Australian paleontologists discovered the oldest known to date cave rock
drawings in Indonesia, in the south of the island of Sulawesi. It depicts a hunting scene.
