    Actually this conundrum refers to the 'Roman egg' which is the birth of the universe. The Romans beleived that the universe was born from an 'egg' so the answer was that the egg came before the chicken, however this wasn't a chicken egg. Curiously, the Roman egg as the start of the universe is now surprisingly popular... in that the universe possibly started off as a single dense 'egg' that exploded (big bang).

    • I thought the Romans believed the universe was born from Gaia and the Sky.

    • If history is any indicator, the Romans were not the brightest of people. They were mighty, but not the brightest.
