It is unlikely that the woman was a willing participant.

Archaeologists unearthed these 5,000-year-old lovers buried together in Kazakhstan

The burial site was encircled with stones

They were found near two sacrificed horses said to pull them into the afterlife

Not even Noah lived to be 5000 years old.

For the greater glory of Kazakhstan....

Interesting that the people on the Steppes of Central Asia had domesticated horses about 7,000 years before the aborigines on North America. The North American peoples had to wait for the Spaniards to bring horses to the New World starting in the 1500s and turn the loose or lose them.

Horses must have been extremely valuable then, especially high performance horses. You’d think they wouldn’t sacrifice good horses, but maybe find a couple of old dead nags nearby to put in the graves.

[BBell]

I doubt the horses were either.

I thought you stop counting the day of last breath. Children run and write in this new world.

I’m guessing the woman is the one with her mouth open. (Ducking. )

Men were buried with war horses and military objects while women were buried with ceramics, needles and ornaments.

What a bunch of pre-feminist boorish neanderthals. What a horribly unenlightened culture. Everybody knows that societies were never aligned on the natural state of man and woman. These graves need to be covered up and such findings never discussed again. These people in Asia need to take a lesson from us and follow our lead tearing down Confederate monuments, tearing down the Founding Fathers, banning all Western Civilization studies, and ending awards named for Laura Ingalls Wilder.
