(STAR TELEGRAM) – Shifting dunes in Israel’s Negev desert have revealed an ancient campsite, and among the “rare” finds are the ingredients of meal left sitting beside a fire pit, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority.
Nomads were apparently preparing a “prehistoric omelet” with ostrich eggs, the authority reports in a Dec. 12 news release. Eight ostrich eggs were recovered and it’s estimated they are 4,000 to 7,500 years old, officials said.

“We found a campsite which extends over about 200 sq. m, that was used by the desert nomads since prehistoric times,” Lauren Davis of the Israel Antiquities Authority said in the release. “At the site, we found burnt stones, flint, and stone tools as well as pottery shards, but the truly special find is this collection of ostrich eggs.”
