Doomed love...

It's Romeo and Juliet from prehistoric times!
Archaeologists in Italy have found the skeletons of a man and a woman people hugging!
The archaeologists say that the skeletons are over five thousand years old!
"It's an extraodinary case!" says archaeologist Elena Menotti, who led the team on the dig near Mantova, in northern Italy.
This is the first double burial found in the Neolithic period.
Ms. Menotti thinks that the couple was young, because their teeth were not worn down.
Near the couple, archaeologists found a few flint tools, and a knife.
Archaeologists say that the pose the young couple was found in suggests a sudden and tragic death.
Experts will now study the artifacts, and try to determine when the couple died.
I would totally freak out if I found two skeletons! (I hate dead bodies!)
