Yesterday at Mantua, in an amazing echo of that heartrending story, archaeologists revealed the discovery of a couple locked in a tender embrace, one that has endured for more than 5,000 years.

Wow. I found it really facinating that they said they'd found women and children hugging, but never a couple. That's realy impressive

New Scientist had a related quote in their soundbites section in last week's issue:

Quote:
"Maybe it is eternal hatred that had them locked together in a death grip."


That was said by an internet commentator (from Reuters) speculating on the reasons they were found together.

I agree with it. Knowing human nature, they probably were killing each other.
