Archaeologists discovered an 1,800-year-old mummy of a 3rd-century man, a salt-mine worker from northwestern Iran, whose body is preserved in salt.
During the Roman Empire period, just after the fall of Parthia, a salt mine worker from northwestern Iran lost his life following a catastrophic rock collapse. Approximately 1,800 years later, the man's body — preserved in salt — was discovered in the very spot where he died, according to recent Iranian news service accounts and to a report issued by the Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies.
How pathetic!
