      they are just like any other piece of art, they're not really that important. but finding them all will allow future artists to learn and study them to create new works of art to inspire the world.
      also if we find them all we get access to the jetpack plus the achievement "Faberge Scrambled Eggs" less then 1% of players have it

    Stop doing the blurry camera work, a beautiful object like this doesn't need some half ass amateur photographer blurring the image then getting the focus set! professional videos don't do this, they make sure it's in focus or they reshoot. Such a mistreatment of the beautiful object.

      This is true but when you consider how close this egg came to nearly becoming scrap metal it's a miracle just to see it at all. And for all said and done it is an absolutely breathtaking piece that I'm so glad was saved to see in it's true splendor. I really hope the guy who did find it and bring it in got paid handsomely because regardless of his intent, without him the egg may well have been lost and forgotten forever.

      8) Red Cross for Maria Feodorovna. Ascetic minimalism and the triumph of harmony!
