Image History

Could this be the oldest embracing couple ever found? Archaeologists found this pair of Neolithic human skeletons embracing in a dig site near Mantova, Italy. This photo was released by Reuters on February 6, 2007. This is what love looked like 5000 – 6000 years ago. Ah, viva l’amour!

This even older embracing couple was found in Turkey. Archaeologists believe this type of burial was an ancient custom of the Mesopotamian culture.
