       | Fascinating. It's a little disrespectful IMO to refer to them as
       | 'the lovers' just because of how they were laying. Given they
       | think both are male ages 19 and 35, it's just as likely they
       | could have been a father embracing his dead son or other
       | relative. Or two soldiers even posed like that purposely by
       | whatever invading force..

         | Would the DNA testing have revealed whether or not they were

         | not necessarily lovers.)
