Archaeologists from the Deccan College Deemed University in Pune have discovered two skeletons, a young male and a female, buried at the same time in the same grave with the man's face turned toward the woman.
It is the first anthropologically confirmed joint burial of a couple in a Harappan cemetery. The 'couple's grave' was found in the Harappan settlements excavated at Rakhigarhi in Harayana, some 150km northwest of Delhi.
Archaeologists said evidence points at the couple being buried simultaneously or about the same time. They could not find clear evidence if one was buried after the other.
Although many settlements and cemeteries have been discovered and investigated, no couple's burials at Harappan cemeteries have been reported till date. Archaeologists who excavated this site found the two bodies placed in the supine position (face up) with arms and legs extended...
Vasant Shinde, corresponding author of the research, and vice chancellor of Deccan College Deemed University, told TOI that archaeologists in India have often debated about the historical meaning of joint burials.
He said the Harappans believed in life after death which explains the pottery and bowls found in the graves...
Their ages at the time of death have been estimated to be between 21 and 35 years and the man's approximate height as 5 feet 6 inches and the woman's as 5 feet 2 inches. Researchers could not find any evidence of trauma or lesions in the skeletons.

Looks like he just told her a funny joke.
Healthy imaginations need varied stimuli.
Just look at Steven King.
I rest my case.
Possibly the man died, then they buried the woman alive. Later began burning bodies and the woman being burned alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.
In India there could be many explanations.
“We’re DEAD woman! Now please just SHUT UP!”
“We’re DEAD woman! Now please just SHUT UP!”
Yeah, it was probably some kind of elaborate punishment for him.
Thanks knarf. I've been getting a little spoiled as more people post good topics and/or ping me to good ones.
Steven King doesn't belong in the same sentence as "varied stimuli" or "imagination" (apart from this sentence of course). :^)
Maybe they wanted to try out the new rib joint.

SK is weird scifi all the time 24/7 .....
What if he stopped thinking that weird crap and started writing Harlequin type pulp ... whatever.
My comment was in rebutal to someone commenting about what you post.
Hell ... I did a Pompeii binge about a year ago because of one of your posts.
Pompeii was the place to be to get laid.
I wonder how many people know that
The man was Harry Mudd, he got stuck in Harappan times due to a mishap with a 23rd century time machine, one of the unseen Star Trek episodes.

If they made a poster about what I had, it would basically be a nice line drawing of one of those e-room barf bags that opens like an accordion. Although I must say, I was disappointed that I never got one of those, they're pretty cool. Y'know, as barf bags go.
Pompeii, really anywhere in the Roman world, great place to get laid, assuming one enjoyed a prostitute.
