Still Waters Posted January 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Residents of Sardis, an ancient city in modern-day Turkey, spent decades rebuilding after a devastating earthquake struck one night in the year A.D. 17. To ward off demons and future disasters, some locals may have sealed eggshells under their new floors as lucky charms, archaeologists found. http://www.livescien...ggs-sardis.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel M. Posted January 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't see how eggshells and coins equals demon wards... If you read the article those items were quite common to use. But I think you'd have to dig a little deeper yourself to find out what traits these items had which would convey protection of this kind to those living in ancient times.
