      Unwashed eggs are shelf stable, they last for a few weeks at room temp. Washed eggs, like you’d get at an American grocery store, absolutely need to be refrigerated.

      In the old ages there were a number of ways of preserving eggs for long periods of time. Lard was one of them, where they would put many eggs in a pot and fill it with lard. There was also a way with mixing lime with water and keeping eggs in that. They could have been kept edible for years, although I don’t wish to hazard the guess on how the produce tasted. Townsends has a great video on the subject.
