Researchers are amazed by the discovery: a chicken egg that is thousands of years old surprises with unexpected contents. After a computer scan, it now turns out that there is still liquid in there.
This could provide crucial information about chicken farming at the time. Egg was found in a water-filled pit that was once used to draw water for brewing and malting. It may have been part of an offering there between the years 270 and 300 of the Christian era. The egg will probably no longer be edible.
