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."

How sweet, just in time for Valentine's Day!
Of course, maybe this wasn't the tender moment we think it was... "Do I have something in my teeth?"...
OK, are they male/female, or? To think that the world was but 1000 years old or so...
Or the earth is 4.55 billion years old, as determined by non-creationist methods. If you link to the article, you will see that they are almost certainly man and woman.
