Archaeologists in southern Greece uncovered the well-preserved skeletal remains of two people. DNA testing confirms that one is a man and the other a woman. According to Anastassia Papathanassiou, a member of the excavation team, they probably died in each other's arms. If so, it's a touching display of tragic love from a lost era, now frozen in time.
