I just have to share you strangers / friends / enemies this hot discovery.
Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.
"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, who led the team on their dig near the northern city of Mantova.
"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging -- and they really are hugging."
Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.
"I must say that when we discovered it, we all became very excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.
"But I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special."
A laboratory will now try to determine the couple's age at the time of death and how long they had been buried.

Is dat hot or sweet or sweet hotness?
Maybe romeo and juliet existed after all. Maybe Shakespeare wrote the play based on true life accounts or at least true facts. Aaaahh...coolness.
What was the cause? What were their last thoughts? Was there any suffering? Did they die together because their love was really tight like that? Or were they in that position because of obligations? Was there any sincerity? Why did they die like that?? Why did they have to be sooo super sweet even after 5000 years???
Whatever the laboratory might find, i just think those skeletons are pure sweetness. Till death they parted.
And that's the hottest thing.
