Love is eternal, 1972
Found in the West Azerbaijan Province of Iran in 1972, these two skeletons have been embracing each other for the last 2,800 years... world history and facts.


There are several myths about these skeletons. They are not a gay couple as once first thought, with the skeleton on the left being a woman and the skeleton on the right being a man. They were also said to be 6,000 years old which is not true. The hole in the man's head is not from when he was alive, but it happened during the excavation process. 

The skeleton on the left was about 20-22 years old when she died and the one on the right was understood to be 30-35 years old when he died. Both were discovered like this and they have no traumatic injuries. 

They were probably not buried like this, but they died kissing each other. It is thought that they died during the fire of Hasanlu and that they died from suffocation due to smoke inhalation. Approximately 246 other skeletons were found around this site. 

The couple have been named as the "Hasanlu lovers" because of the location where they were found.
