The Lovers of Valdaro

Valdaro Lovers, are two 6,000-year-old skeletons discovered in a Neolithic tomb near Valdaro in Mantua, Italy, in 2007. Their name comes from the fact that they appear locked in an embrace. The burial dates to the Neolithic period, which lasted from 10,000 – 4,500 BCE.

hello! may I request one based on a phrase (typically from within archeology) that goes 'the dead don't bury themselves'? thank you!
