Discovered a 3,500-year-old male and female skeleton in the fist position

Russian scientists have discovered two 3,500-year-old men and women skeletons buried together in a fist pose in a village in Siberia.

The men and women are buried in a lying position facing each other and holding each other's hands in an ancient way in the village of Staryi Tartas in Siberia. Two skeletons are 3,500 years old, which is from the Bronze Age.

In addition to the two skeletons of the two couples, archaeologists also discovered graves in which children were also buried with adults.

Archaeologists are trying to find the answer to these secret skeletons and they believe the DNA test results will provide the answer.

One hypothesis is given that this method of burial indicates the beginning of a nuclear family model (two-generation family consisting of parents and children).

However, there are other opinions that after the husband's death, the wife will be killed and buried with her husband.

'It is natural and understandable to see a child and an adult buried in a grave. They may be related by blood, such as father, son or aunt. However, when two adults are buried together like that, we can make many theories, ' said Professor Vyacheslav Molodin, research director of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology in Serbia.
