"1,700-Year-Old Roman Egg Found Intact with Contents in UK"

A 1,700-year-old Roman egg discovered in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, still contains liquid, possibly a mix of yolk and albumen, making it a rare find. Found alongside a woven basket and other artifacts, the intact egg was carefully preserved and is now at the Natural History Museum in London. Experts are considering extracting the contents to learn more about the bird that laid it, and it is believed to be the oldest unintentionally preserved egg of its kind.
