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.
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.
Eggs are shelf stable? How long do they last on the counter?

Interesting. But I don’t think this is what the guy was asking. XD

What if you do the bad/good test with water in a bowl? Do you have to refrigerate them after? Or is that not “washing”?
By washing they mean chemically. Usually involving bleach
Two hundred and fifty years, give or take
