Saltmen
The Saltmen (Persian: مردان نمکی, romanized: mardān-e namakī) are the preserved remains of multiple human individuals that were discovered in the Chehrabad salt mines, located on the southern part of the Hamzehlu village, on the west side of the city of Zanjan, in Zanjan Province, Iran. By 2010, the remains of six men had been discovered, most of them accidentally killed by the collapse of galleries in which they were working. The head and left foot of Saltman 1 are on display at the National Museum of Iran in Tehran. The remains date back to Achaemenid (550–330 BCE), Parthian (247 BCE–224 CE), and Sasanian (224–651 CE) periods.
