Re: Touching

We've lost so much about what our prehistoric ancestors were like. Despite the huge gap in years between our civilizations, seeing these two buried like this shows exactly how close to us they could be. A good reminder that they weren't the barbarians that people seem to think they were. Thanks for the article!

Re: Touching

Saw this on TV last night, it makes you wonder how the young lovers died together 5000 years ago(who says until death do us apart?). The Italians....

Hmmm... It does kind of looks like they throttled each other, but I have reason to suspect that they probably committed some kind of ritual suicide, considering that its rare for two people to die at the exact same time. In any case, the gestures look heartfelt just the same. I look forward to updates on the investigation.

Re: Touching

No doubt we'll find another grave depicting the first divorce. The gravesite will contain not 2, but 4 corpses: 1 husband, 1 wife and 2 attorneys. You'll be able to distinguish the attorneys from the other 2 because they'll be the ones garroted with their own expensive silk neckties.

Re: Touching

I'm not sure how to put the quotes in, but Whitestar there are instances where two people die at the same time. Such as a volcano or other natural disasters. I'm not saying that that happend here, but it is a possibility.
