The longest hug in history

Scientists have recently identified the remains of a man and a woman in a tomb in southern Greece, where were found hugging each other in an embrace that has lasted over 5,800 years.
 
Newspaper Daily Mirror reported that scientists believe the couple died in their early twenties.
 
One of the Greek excavation team members believes the two passed away holding each other.
 
The tomb was discovered in 2013 but the sex of the skeletons was determined only recently by a DNA test.
