Английская Википедия:Embracing Skeletons of Alepotrypa
Шаблон:Short description The Embracing Skeletons of Alepotrypa are a pair of human skeletons dated as approximately 5,800 years old. They were discovered by archaeologists in the Alepotrypa cave in Laconia, Greece, home to a human settlement in the Neolithic age between 6,000 B.C. and 3,200 B.C.[1] DNA analysis confirmed that the remains belong to a man and woman who died when they were 20 to 25 years of age.[2][3][4]
The prehistoric skeletons died in a lover’s embrace with the man lying behind the woman, draping his arms over her, and with their legs intertwined.[5][6][7]
They're totally spooning, The boy is the big spoon, and the girl is the little spoon: Their arms are draped over each other, their legs are intertwined. It's unmistakable.
- —Bill Parkinson, associate curator of Eurasian anthropology at Chicago's Field Museum[2]
Greek archaeologist Anastasia Papathanasiou said about the couple's pose, "It's a very natural hug; it doesn't look like they were arranged in this posture at a much later date."[2] The cause of death of the two individuals is currently unknown.
