2,800 years have passed since the loving "lovers" hid in the barn and kissed, and were discovered
If love has a term, I want it to last for 10,000 years. "
The love between Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy is full of regrets, and fate arranges for them to meet at the wrong time.
The love in life may be limited, but the relationship between them is indelible.
Time flies, the years are merciless, and those poignant love stories have been buried deep in the abyss of history.
For example, British archaeologists were surprised to find two hugging bones during excavations, which had been clinging to each other for a full 2,800 years. What about this strange posture and the story that happened between them?
01 An unexpected discoveryIn 1936, when British scholars were conducting archaeological research in Iran, they accidentally discovered a gold urn.
This gold urn is highly crafted and has been studied to have a long history. At that time, it required considerable financial resources to make such gold products, which shows that this place was once wealthy.
This unexpected discovery thrilled British scholars, who believed that by excavating the treasures of this place, they would be able to restore this powerful ancient kingdom at that time.
After deliberations, in 1972, the British and Iran decided to join forces with archaeological teams to carry out in-depth excavations. In a short period of time, they found a large number of precious artifacts, which provide conclusive evidence of the glorious history of the ancient country.
However, the joy did not last long, as an even more unexpected discovery plunged the archaeologists into a deep mood.
It turned out that along with the artifacts, they found many bones in a deep pit.
Archaeologists carefully counted a total of 246 skeletons.
The presence of these bones reveals that this ancient village suffered a terrible **, and it was this catastrophe that reduced this once rich place to an empty city.
In the midst of this group of skeletons, two striking figures quietly appeared.
The two skeletons hugged each other tightly, with the right hand of the left skeleton supporting the chin of the right skeleton and the right skeleton holding the left skeleton with its right hand.
This intimate gesture aroused the curiosity of many people, and what happened between the two men became the focus of heated discussions among archaeologists.
With the spread of archaeology, the posture of the two skeletons has become a hot topic of public discussion, and various explanations have emerged on the Internet.
Some believe that they may have died in ancient ritual rituals, while others say that they died under the persecution of their parents. However, the most convincing explanation is that they became victims of a **** and died in desperation.
So, what kind of story did these two people go through during their lifetime?Why do you have such a bizarre pose?
After an in-depth study of the two skeletons, experts discovered that the skull of the right skeleton had been damaged.
Behind this bizarre shape, it is likely that there is a poignant love story, or it was affected by a huge war, which caused injuries to the right side of the skelet.
Eventually, the skeleton on the left side could not bear to abandon the partner on the right, causing both of them to die together.
02 The Mystery of the Gender of the Skeleton When the two skeletons were found, they were lying in a spacious earthen pit.
Considering the way people lived at that time, it is possible that this place was a storehouse for storing grain. So, why did these two choose to end their lives in a granary?Are these two skeletons same-sex couples, heterosexual couples, or two women?
When the two skeletons were discovered, American experts immediately made a gender judgment on the two. "
Experts agree that the skeletons belong to two adult males, with the left skeletal being slightly older. However, there are also some members of the expert team who believe that the two skeletons may be a man and a woman, and that they are a couple.
At that time, experts could not accurately know the specific circumstances of the two skeletons based on environmental judgment alone.
Soon after, the ** of the two skeletons spread to the Internet, attracting the attention of many professionals, and the University of Cambridge also invested in research. After scholars studied the bones of the deceased, combined with detailed observations of the two bodies, the University of Cambridge concluded that it was a couple and provided detailed explanations.
After death, the shape of the white bones in men and women is basically similar, but the shape of the small pelvis is different.
The small pelvis of men is smaller in shape, similar to an inverted round table, i.e., large at the top and small at the bottom;In women, the pelvis is closer to a barrel shape than in men due to fertility reasons.
In addition, although men and women have the same number of bones, the bones of men are heavier than those of women, and the total bone mass of women is 20% lighter than that of men.
The female skeleton has a thinner bone cortex, less bone density, and shorter upper and lower limb bones than males, resulting in a relatively short stature for women.
Judging by these indications, the skeletons are likely to be a couple. The brace-like skeleton on the left is a female, approximately 30 years old;The hugging skeleton on the right is about 20 years old. So, why did the couple stay in a kissing position for thousands of years?
03 As time went on, there was more and more discussion about this event. In order to find out the truth, many people volunteered to participate in the investigation.
Finally, after an in-depth study of history by experts and a detailed survey of the topography of the site, the events that happened to the couple gradually emerged, and the most likely scenario became clear.
Back in time 800 years ago, the site of the couple's grave was called Hassanlu Castle.
The castle is located in a secluded town that was free from imperial oppression and exploitation by slave owners.
Each villager in the town enjoys his own land, although life is not rich, but he can also meet the food and clothing, and everyone bathes in the atmosphere of happy life.
However, this happy life did not last long, and soon after, the happy days were brutally interrupted.
Around 100 B.C., a group of strangely dressed people came to this town, and as soon as they entered the village, they set off a vicious act of burning, killing and looting.
In order to defend their homeland, the townspeople had to pick up the hoes they usually used to hoe their land, trying to defend their land. However, their usual farming bodies were not able to stand up to this group of well-trained invaders.
Soon, the villagers of the town fell into a situation of failure.
In order to preserve the hope of the village, some adult men in the town took the women to hide in the granaries of the village.
Due to the difficult terrain of the area, they had a glimmer of hope that they would be able to escape the invaders and leave hope for the village to retake the town in the future.
By this time, the invaders had already killed the red eyes and brutally slaughtered the villagers.
After a while, there was not much left, and when the invaders counted the number of people, they found that the villagers in the town were mainly young and middle-aged, and the women were not among them.
They immediately realized that the women of the town had gone into hiding.
Once aware of this, the invaders began to search for the women who were hiding.
Unfortunately, these villagers were not favored by Lady Luck, and the villagers hiding in the granary were soon discovered by the invaders.
Along with their discovery is ruthless**, the invaders set fire to try to wipe out all the women in the granary, so as to prevent future troubles, completely eliminate the villagers in the town, and prevent the surviving villagers from seeking revenge.
In an instant, thick smoke filled the air, the beams collapsed, and countless cries for survival resounded in the sky.
In this critical moment, an adult man guards his beloved girl tightly by his side, thinking about how to escape and hoping that the girl will survive the disaster.
Fate seems to be working against the lovers.
Before the boy could come up with an escape plan, a beam fell from the granary and pressed hard against the boy's right side, making him unable to move.
At this time, the boy understands that he cannot escape and only wants to protect the beloved girl with his body.
However, in such a hostile environment, escape is no longer possible, and the girl has given up the idea of survival and is willing to live and die with the boy.
The smoke in the granary grew thicker, and more and more people fell. At this moment, the boy and girl hugged and kissed, hoping to remember the last beautiful moment forever.
Seeing the girl's firmness, the boy also hugged her into his arms, and the two left the world like this.
Time flies like an arrow, and the bones of two men were found 2,800 years ago. The love story between them has been passed down as a good story and is even treasured by the Pennsylvania Museum in the United States to commemorate their love. And the lovers' kiss spanning thousands of years has also become the object of envy.
So, what does this kiss mean to them?
04 The Symbol of the Kiss Due to cultural differences, each country gives different symbols to the kiss.
In China, it is common for two people to show respect by shaking hands for the first time, while in Western countries, kissing is a common meeting etiquette that can even be accompanied by a hug to show friendly intentions.
In addition, different groups of people have different ways and meanings when greeting each other. When an elder kisses a junior, they usually choose to kiss the forehead, while the younger one can kiss the elder's cheek or chin. Same-sex greetings may be close to the cheek, while kissing on the cheek may be an option between peers and the opposite sex, although kissing is generally limited to couples or couples.
When kissing, it tends to increase the sense of security and trust between the two people.
In ancient and modern times, different people have a variety of views on kissing.
The ancient Roman poet once said: "Kissing is like a summer flower blooming in the meadow", comparing the kiss to the decoration of flowers, making the meadow more vibrant. Shakespeare said, "Kissing is the mark of love", and kisses are used to symbolize the deep love between lovers.
In real life, we don't need to be stingy in expressing our love for each other, we have to be brave enough to express it.
In the granary, a couple chooses to express their deep emotions through kissing when they are on the verge of death, whether this expresses their unwillingness to face death, their reluctance to the people around them, or to commemorate their short-lived love?
Whatever the meaning of the couple's kiss, it is a testament to the depth of the relationship between the two and the importance they attach to each other.
The existence of these two skeletons makes people believe that the sincere feelings still exist in the world, and that the love between the two will not disappear with the passage of time, but will live forever in this world in a different way.
05 Questioned?This was originally a story that made people re-believe in love, but unexpectedly, it caused a lot of controversy.
Some have questioned whether this is just a posing photo shoot to gain attention and popularity. Some people even know this incident well and point out the traces of its posing. However, whether or not this event is true or not depends on the individual's attitude towards the issue.
Some rational people will prudently judge the authenticity of this event through factors such as the time and place of the shooting, as well as an in-depth study of the history of Iran at that time. They do not believe the claims of others, but verify the truth of the event by the various indications that exist.
And some emotional people think that it is just a pose, that at the end of life, no one will be so calm and make the act of kissing. The very existence of this ** is the best evidence that this is just a pose.
However, regardless of the truth of this incident, there are still many people who want to believe that it is real and not created to attract attention. Although it is indeed difficult to find a partner who is compatible with you in today's society, everyone is reluctant to give up easily, believing that true feelings will eventually come in the future.
As long as we maintain our faith in love, one day, love will break into our lives. We should not have a negative view of everything because of what happened by chance.
