The picture above shows the head and leg of a naturally made mummy found in 2004 display "salt-cured" skin and yellowish hair after spending centuries in the Iranian Chehrabad Salt Mine. The remains belong to one of five mummies found in the mine between 1993 and 2005.
Recently, a sixth natural mummy which was exposed after heavy rains pounded the salt mine has been discovered in the Hamzehlu region near Zanjan, a northwestern Iranian province.
Scientists believe the newly found man was a Roman Empire-era salt mine worker killed by falling rocks during an earthquake.
Iranian salt men were naturally mummified by the preserving properties of salt over the past 1,800 years. Link
