Remains of Man and Woman found together in Ukrainian grave after she was buried alive with her dead husband. "The wife who made the ultimate sacrifice for a 3,000-year loving embrace"
An ancient man and woman have been found locked in a loving embrace for 3,000 years in a grave in Ukraine. The woman was willingly entombed alive in order to accompany her husband to the next world, archeologists believe.
Autopsy experts say it would not be possible to place the woman's body in such a loving position if she was already dead. The experts say it is likely the woman chose to die and be buried with her husband. They believe she may have drunk poison as she climbed into the grave and embraced her recently dead partner. The extraordinary burial saw the couple clasped together since the Bronze Age in eternal love. The pair, from the prehistoric Vysotskaya - or Wysocko - Culture were found near Petrykiv village, south of the city of Ternopil in western Ukraine.
