    Eternal embrace? Couple still hugging 5,000 years on

    Eternal embrace? Couple still hugging 5,000 years on

    ROME (Reuters) - Call it the eternal embrace.
    Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.

    I saw that on TV. It's really cool to imagine what happened to them.

    How funny would it be if she was cheating on him and he just went insane. Because he loved her so much he didn't want anyone else to have her so he poisoned her. But couldn't live with the guilt so he poisoned himself while he lay there hugging her. And now she's damned eternally to lay at rest in the embrace of her murderer.

    How cute.

    That's a possibility. Or maybe he just slipped something into her drink and was having a good time.

    They probably choked each other to death.

    My question is: was this a regular grave? If so, why would they be embracing if they were being buried, they would already be dead. Somehow there was an occurance that caused their death and they died right on the spot and were not moved from that location. I could understand it if they found it in Pompeii.

    If that were the case their remains would have been burned up or they would have been removed from there afterward. It could have been a mudslide or earthquake in which their remains were never found. Or, maybe they found their remains like that and decided to bury them the way they found them.

    Can you imagine being nagged for 5,000 to 6,000 years "Ralph, you never take me anywhere" "Ralph, take out the garbage" "Ralph, tuck your shirt in you're a mess" "Ralph, Ralph, Ralph". I bet it was a murder-suicide!

    It's just that Romeo and Juliet were two young lovers, which apparently these two were and ironically, they were found only 25 miles from Verona, where R&J were from.

    he possibly had a heart attack due to the excitement of stumbling along one of mankind's most important discoveries. Too bad the secret of the donkey punch was lost for another 4900 years and rediscovered by some dude in kentucky.

    Eternal embrace. Interesting and cute I suppose (nevermind the circumstances that caused that to come about). I can't wait until February 14th comes and goes, I'm so tired of all the same love bulls--t all over the news, radio, and apparently the internet.
