Some Stories are Worth the Telling

Valdaro, Italy - Scientists said they are determined to remove and
preserve together the remains of a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago,
their arms still wrapped around each other in an enduring embrace. Instead of removing the bones one-by-one for reassembly later,
archaeologists plan to scoop up the entire section
of earth where the couple was buried. The plot will then be transported for study before being put
on display in an Italian museum, thereby preserving
the world's longest known hug for posterity.
