Prehistoric Romeo & Juliet

I ran across this article on CNN where archaeologists found a pair of lovers in a last embrace somewhere near Verona; the setting for Romeo and Juliet.

Click here to read more about the article.

Buried between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric pair are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, as their teeth were found intact, said Elena Menotti, the archaeologist who led the dig.


I doubt that they'll be able to find that many details about the pair other than that they're young. They're not even sure if they're male and female.
