The Hasanlu Lovers are stirring image of love across time, but what exactly was the relationship between these two people?
In the remains of an ancient, burned out village, archeologists were surprised to find the remains of two bodies, seemingly sharing a loving embrace before their eventual death.
The University of Pennsylvania first discovered this skeletal couple during an archeological excavation of an ancient city in northwest Iran in the 1970s. The two skeletons were discovered in the remains of the ancient city of Teppe Hasanlu, which stood in the area that is now Iran 2,800 years ago.
