Negative Nancy says it could've been a dozen other things that lead them to die like that. Just as there are a dozen of ways for people to "embrace" each other in such a way. You cannot feel love from pictures. What you are feeling is your imagination making illogical somethings out of nothing.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So what ?Originally Posted by Bunny
The picture inspired a warm and fuzzy feeling on me. It might not be what happened but it is highly likely that it was a loving embrace.
Hey, some people think a seal looking bored is cute, I happen to think seeing likely evidence of loving bonds from 5,000 year old humans is uplifting.
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
Seals are cute full stop. An my Seals are certainly cuter than a couple of corpses.
If one presumes that it is a symbol of love, the idea that it could survive five thousand years and be unconvered by what is effectively a completely alien people, yet still resonate, is pretty damned powerful if you ask me.Seals are cute full stop. An my Seals are certainly cuter than a couple of corpses.
It does rest on an essentially unprovable assumption, I concede, but I can't say I entirely blame people for making it. The world is dark and empty enough to justify the occasion piece of irrational hope.
Unless they're adults.Seals are cute full stop.
... You know that pwnage just made me gay for you, right?
That's worse than goatse, Roto.
Not true not true not true!
Because of course all adult Seals look like that.Unless they're adults.Seals are cute full stop.
So what you're saying is that seals are NOT cute, full stop?
Omg, this just made me squeee. So sweet. Makes me wanna cry. :]
Well, okay. I know that what I said wasn't entirely true. It was moreso on the subject of assuming that the picture was of two people dying in each other's arms and then being discovered 5,000 years later.Not true not true not true!
Also mixed with my belief that there is no afterlife and thus, after the people are dead their emotions are as well. The love did not survive 5,000 years, the bones did.
Everything leaves its mark on everything else. What they did does still have ramifications today, I guarantee it. Every time I hit a key it matters to the universe and will always have changed something.Well, okay. I know that what I said wasn't entirely true.

Edit: I'm not saying these things are necessarily perceptible, just that they exist.

That edit wasn't there when I quoted. Man dammit that ruins my post.
No. What I'm saying is not all adult seals look like the seal Roto posted, since his accompanying comment was that they weren't cute if they were adults. An I didn't say all seals looked cute. An I don't actually think that Seal is ugly anyway. It's not exactly pulling a pretty face in that second shot, but who would look attractive pulling a face like that? You may pull a face similar to that when you're being gay with Roto, so keep a camera handy so we can see how pretty it makes you look. It won't be pretty, but if you die like that, in 5,000 to 6,000 years when you're found, some people will think it's romantic. :-*So what you're saying is that seals are NOT cute, full stop?
