Ostrich eggs up to 7,500 years old have been found next to an ancient fire pit in Israel
And for archaeologists in Israel, eight prehistoric ostrich eggs – thought to be between 4,000 and 7,500 years old – proved as valuable as treasure when they were discovered near an ancient fire pit in the Negev, a desert region in the south of the country. They were discovered during an archaeological excavation in the agricultural fields of Be’er Milka, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Thursday.
Although the nomads did not build permanent structures at this site, the finds allow us to feel their presence in the desert.” Davis added that the campsites were covered over by the dunes, keeping the eggs exceptionally well-preserved. The IAA, which told CNN on Thursday the site had been excavated in the last week, said that ostriches were common in the region until they became extinct in the wild during the 19th century.
