Still Waters Posted June 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2021 A complete chicken egg dating back 1,000 years has been unearthed in Yavne, a town in central Israel, the Antiquities Authority announced on Wednesday. “This is a very rare find, in Israel and the world,” said Dr. Lee Perry Gal of the IAA, a leading expert on poultry in the ancient world. “Eggshell fragments are always interesting to find in excavations, but they are relatively common. A complete egg is really unique.” The complete egg was unearthed in a vast industrial complex dating to the Byzantine period (4th-7th centuries CE). Within the site, the archaeologists found a cesspit from the Islamic period, and to their surprise they spotted an unusual object inside. https://www.jpost.com/archaeology/1000-year-old-chicken-egg-one-of-the-oldest-ever-found-in-israel-670496 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
