Really, though, this is an extraordinary discovery. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/12/roman-egg-found-in-aylesbury-still-has-contents-after-1700-years 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kali Posted February 12 · Member Share Posted February 12 Shame they want to empty it, I would leave it as it. Neat find, either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deinomenid Posted February 12 · Supporter Share Posted February 12 In a low point for my life as a parent (well, really as a human in general) I took my children and wife to see the famous stone circles and henge there at Aylesbury. Pleasant enough area, but apparently I should have headed to Avesbury. Still living it down. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor DonnaML Posted February 12 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted February 12 Isn't it Avebury? That was your first mistake, I think! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deinomenid Posted February 12 · Supporter Share Posted February 12 (edited) That's what I discovered once there. It's only mentioned a few times a week now....and I see I still can't get the name right! Edited February 12 by Deinomenid 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeandAcre Posted February 13 · Member Share Posted February 13 Amazing. And I'm seconding my own vote. This provides welcome pretext for this link, on a comparably surreal level of paleogenetics. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/31/podcasts/the-daily/dna-illness.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliodromus Posted February 13 · Member Share Posted February 13 Reminds me of this body of a Roman girl found intact (embalmed in a marble casket) in the 15thC. https://www.medievalists.net/2023/05/discovery-medieval-rome/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
