Newsvine - Archaeologists Extracting Ancient Lovers

This article explains an archaeological find which was in Rome last week. Just in time for Valentine's Day, two lovers from the Neolithic period of about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago were discovered with their skeletons embracing one another. They are believed to be a young man and woman who died young, and archaeologists are doing all they can to remove and research the pair while keeping them intact. I personally found this touching to find a couple so deeply in love that they died intertwined and remained that way for thousands of years. I am also curious about how they died, since it seems it must have been at the same time. It's a good love story for this time of year.
