This picture taken on January 12, 2023 shows a view of discovered ostrich egg fragments dating over 4000 years discovered by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) at a site in the dunes near Nitzana along the Israel-Egypt border in the western Negev desert. - Experts say the finds provide insight into the life of the ancient peoples inhabiting the region. The eight crushed eggs were located at a camp site used by nomads "since prehistoric times," said Lauren Davis, the Israel Antiquities Authority excavation director. Their proximity to the fire, alongside stones, flint, tools and pottery sherds, implies that the eggs were to be cooked, said Davis. (Photo by GIL COHEN-MAGEN / AFP)

Si bien aún no se ha determinado con precisión la fecha de origen de los huevos, los investigadores estiman que pueden tener hasta 7.500 años.

"Encontramos un campamento que se extiende sobre unos 200 metros cuadrados y que fue utilizado por nómadas del desierto desde tiempos prehistóricos", agregó la experta, quien destacó que entre los hallazgos había también piedras quemadas, pedernal y herramientas de piedra, así como fragmentos de cerámica.

"La proximidad del grupo de huevos al fogón indica que no se trata de un hallazgo fortuito natural, sino de la recolección intencional de los huevos", enfatizó Davis, que describió que los huevos estaban triturados, pero bien conservados, a pesar de que estaban descubiertos en la capa superficial.
