The Saddest picture I have ever seen, yet compassionate and moving, it may make you cry -
Is this a love story? This puts a new meaning to death do us part.
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.
The find was unearthed by experts digging at a neolithic site at a less than romantic industrial estate.
Scientists are to examine the skeletons to try to establish how old they were when they died and how long they have been buried.
From an initial examination they appear young as their teeth are not worn down but we have sent the remains to a laboratory to establish their age at the time of death.
Elena Menotti, who is leading the dig at Valdaro near Mantua in northern Italy said,
They are face to face and their arms and legs are entwined and they are really hugging.

There are skeletons at Pompeii, mothers holding babes in arms, but I don't recall seeing adults in an embrace.
What a lovely story that could be told from this.

Come on guys no punch line.. I do have a heart I promise..It s a man and woman.
One theory being examined is that the man was killed and the woman then sacrificed so that his soul would be accompanied in the after life. Elena Menotti, who is leading the dig at Valdaro near Mantua in northern Italy, said: 'I am so excited about this discovery. "We have never found a man and a woman embraced before and this is a unique find. "We have found plenty of women embracing children but never a couple. Much less a couple hugging -- and they really are hugging. It's possible that the man died first and then the woman was killed in sacrifice to accompany his soul. "They are face to face and their arms and legs are entwined and they are really hugging. An initial examination of the couple - dubbed the Lovers of Valdaro - revealed that the man (on the left in the picture) has an arrow in his spinal column while the woman has an arrow head in her side.

...in life we hope to find that one relationship to fulfill our need, while a major part of that need is to fulfill someone else...trust,honor, a complete release of defense...for me, this is a picture of hope, Two people who at the last moment of life had each other. The sex is determined by the pelvic bones, male on the left...the sad part is that this is so rare. Should we all be so lucky to have the one we love in our embrace.
