I ♥ Squadron 8:13 PM

What does it mean by pure true love? And the real meaning by the vow "Till death do us apart?". I came across this piece of news in the bus from home days ago. Interestingly love. Do you feel the love they had? Well I do.

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.

"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, who led the team on their dig near the northern city of Mantova.

"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging -- and they really are hugging."

Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.

"I must say that when we discovered it, we all became very excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.

"But I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special."

A laboratory will now try to determine the couple's age at the time of death and how long they had been buried.

In a Valentines Day gift to the country, scientists said they are determined to jointly remove and preserve the remains of the couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in an enduring embrace.

This is simply sweet. Imagined the story they might have. Maybe it was forbidden love. That their families disagree in their relationship. Maybe they were running away. Look at the skeletons closely. One hand is holding on to the cheek of the other.
