Hasanlu Lovers
Hasanlu Lovers refers to a pair of human skeletons discovered at the archaeological site of Hasanlu in Iran. The skeletons, which date back to around 800 BCE, were found in a unique embrace, leading to their romanticized name.
Discovery
The Hasanlu Lovers were discovered in 1972 during an excavation led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. The site of Hasanlu is located in the Solduz Valley of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. The excavation revealed a rich history of the region, with artifacts and structures dating back to the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
Description
The skeletons were found in a bin-like structure within a burned building. They were positioned face-to-face, with their arms around each other, suggesting a moment of intimacy or comfort in their final moments. The exact cause of their death remains unknown, but it is speculated that they perished during a violent attack or a catastrophic event that led to the destruction of the site.
Significance
The Hasanlu Lovers provide a poignant glimpse into the human aspect of ancient civilizations. Their embrace has been interpreted in various ways, from a symbol of romantic love to a representation of familial or platonic bonds. The discovery has sparked significant interest in the study of ancient human relationships and the social structures of early societies.
