ISN'T IT ROMANTIC ?
Honestly, have you ever seen anything more touching than this? Who would have thought that a pile of bones could inspire such feeling? I have been staring at this photograph since the Big Guy forwarded it to me this morning.
Apparently, the embracing couple was found at an archaeological site in Italy, where they had been buried more than 5,000 years ago. The woman who led the excavation said that she was astonished at the find ... a double burial ... which is thought to be extremely unusual during that period of time.
I don't know if it's unusual, I just know that it's beautiful. There is something so lovely about the thought that these two people desired to spend eternity wrapped in each other's embrace. Isn't that what we all dream of ... to have that depth of love that causes us to want an eternity in the arms of another human being?
I've seen many romantic images during my life. Lace and hearts, moonlight and tropical beaches, kisses and embraces and romantic gestures. But I have never seen an image that has touched me the way this one has.
What a beautiful ending.

Love is.....ETERNAL......
They have met many times again...Love keeps the past, close behind us.
Peace and Warmth, and may all your days have a touch of valentine in them!

Great post, Tina. I heard that the archeologists who found the couple have decided to study them without pulling them apart. That's touching, because they belong together always.

I agree...I posted this on V-Day, too, because although some may find it morbid, I find it incredibly touching. Nice post.

What makes this so compelling is that you can create your own story. I hope that both were in fact deceased when this embrace was burried. Perhaps it is a mother and child? Paulette
