#Repost///@bbcnews: “We were absolutely blown away when we saw the contents in there.” That’s what researchers said about an intact chicken’s egg found from Roman Britain after scientists found it still had liquid inside. The egg, which is about 1,700 years old, was unearthed during a dig in Buckinghamshire, England, and is now thought to be the only one of its type in the world. A micro CT scan - that produces 3D images - revealed that it still contained the yolk and egg white. During the dig, it was the only egg to survive intact, with others breaking during the excavation, releasing a “potent stench”. Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio to find out what else researchers said about the ancient egg. (📷 Oxford Archaeology) #BBCNews
