Archaeologists in Jiangsu, China, recently unearthed a jar of eggs over 2,500 years old from the Spring and Autumn Period (770–ca. 475 B.C.). While contemporary "century eggs" are a month-long pickled delicacy, these ancient eggs, found in a tomb, have retained only their shells. This remarkable discovery highlights the historical depth of food preservation techniques in ancient China. 🥚🏺 #Archaeology #AncientChina #CenturyEggs
