In 1972, a team of archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania (USA) unearthed many remains Mummies in Teppe Hasanlu area, Solduz valley, West Azerbaijan province, Iran. Among the discovered remains, two sets of bodies hugging each other attracted the most attention.
The pair of mummies were later named lovers Hasanlu. The pose of the couple still holding each other even after death has been “poeticized”, called a symbol of undying love.
The eternal embrace of 2,800 years of lovers.
According to research, the area is said to have been burned down in an attack by two rival factions and people on both sides were killed in the midst of the fighting. The Hasanlu lovers were found in a barrel made of plaster, presumably a hiding place for the participants in the battle. They went into it to take shelter but still could not escape the fate of suffocating because of the smoke.
Other remains were found in the area, attesting to a brutal war from 800 BC.
After being discovered in an unusual position, the Hasanlu couple was quickly assumed by the media and public to be a man and woman who loved each other, had lived and died together, and still hugged and loved each other even when they were in love. both have become thousands of years old sets.
But the truth is not so, even shocking many people to hear the research results of scientists. It is not certain that this couple is a man and woman. Most likely the Hasanlu couple is 2 men. That means same-sex love may have existed as far back as 3000 years ago.
The valley where the Hasanlu lovers have rested for a thousand years
Up to now, through analysis of the pelvis and teeth, the remains of the person lying on the right have been confirmed 100% as a male of a relatively young age (about 18 to 22 years old). The true identity of the person on the right is still unknown, but it is most likely also a male.
This person died between the ages of 30 and 35. What is the relationship between these two people is also not clear. The fact that they hugged each other before they died is not enough to confirm that this is a couple.
Although there are many controversies, the poses of the two skeletons always make posterity admire. The hypothesis of a romantic and tragic same-sex love life and death thousands of years ago must have been an interesting new discovery, showing the different “progressive” thought of the ancients.
