An extraordinary tale of True Love

[Passport]

---

Archeologists investigating the site of a former Dominican monastery in Cluj have uncovered a remarkable tale of love, preserved in the bones of a medieval grave. Two skeletons, of a young man and a woman, were found clearly buried together with their hands clasped for eternity.

Dubbed Romeo and Juliet by the archeological team, the couple are thought to have lived between 1450 and 1550, as the grave’s position and proximity to the monastery are typical of this period.





The archeologist’s comments paint a fascinating picture, a young man killed tragically in an accident and his lover dies of a broken heart and joins him in the grave. The couple died between 50 and 150 years before Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, but the story the great dramatist based his play on had been around in the previous centuries.

walay sama nga gugma
bisan sa kamatayon nagkahiusa
ngadto sa katapusan nag-uban
pabiling tim-os sa gipanumpaan.

Pinakaulahing gininhawa alang sa usag usa
mga luhang tinubdan sa tiunayng gugma
matapus man ang tanan ning kalibutan
apan gibugkos sa gugma bisan sa lubnganan.




pagkanindot makahibalag ug sama niining binuhat
nga bisan sa pagpanaw maantigo molantaw sa saad
pagkatam-is magpakabuhi ning maanindot nga kalibutan
kun ang maong binuhat ning paglaroy-laroy mahikaplagan....

just bec their hands clasped?...

yeah? well..
ordinary is like the rain
how would you know it is
just water falling off the sky?
if you don't get urself drenched in a downpour
to dismiss an ancient discovery as ordinary
based on modern perspectives
is tantamount to saying
rain is nothing but
tears from a crying sky

Nice one. Not even death could tear them apart. How but what if they are not lovers but close friends..Were the bone identified to be female and male?

not quite close comparing it to the rain.
i'm just skeptic about them (skeletons) being lovers.
