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

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

Interesting. But I don’t think this is what the guy was asking. XD
Kind of sort of answers the question. :) From few weeks when farm unwashed, till years when kept in lime water.
Two hundred and fifty years, give or take
