An archaeological dig in Britain’s Buckinghamshire recently hatched something the world has never seen before: a fully intact egg at least 1,700 years old. It’s the oldest unintentionally preserved egg in the world, and if that’s not enough, researchers found that the egg remains completely full of its original liquid.
The archeological dig that produced the egg occurred sometime between 2007 and 2016, before the site—located in what is now a housing development at Berryfield in Aylesbury—was fully developed. The findings weren’t made public until 2019, and research on the intact egg wasn’t carried out until 2023, when a micro-CT scan was performed at the University of Kent.
