Scientists Prof Dr Thomas Stöllner and Dr Natascha Bagherpour Kashani have spent many years researching the Iranian salt mummies. In the baseline interview, the two scientists tell us about their research and the development of the international project: The “salt men” and the other finds had to be salvaged and preserved – in particular it was the different materials that presented a huge challenge for the scientists. In a second step, experts from Germany, Switzerland and Iran then examined the mummies, with the ultimate aim being an exhibition. This will present the finds that have long been part of Iran’s cultural heritage but will also make the scientific discoveries more comprehensible to visitors.
