Hasanlu Lovers
The Hasanlu Lovers are two human skeletons found in 1972 at Hasanlu Tepe in north-western Iran, lying together in an apparent embrace in a bin where they died when the citadel was destroyed around 800 BCE. They were excavated by the University of Pennsylvania Museum's team under Robert Dyson. Later study suggests that both were probably male.
