Near Valentine's Day in 2007, a team of researchers led by archeologist Elena Maria Manotti uncovered a Neolithic burial site containing two skeletons, locked in a loving embrace. This discovery ignited the imagination of the world as to who these individuals were, and why they were buried together. It is very rare to find two skeletons in one grave like this, and it is almost unheard of to have them facing each other as they appear to be hugging. The research of this incredible find is still ongoing, but let's take a look back on how they were found and if they could truly be the real-life Romeo and Juliet.
