As part of a German-Iranian collaboration, the so-called salt men of Zanjān are being examined in more detail, thus scientists have been able to find out that the men were actually miners who have been preserved in the salt. The finds have now been restored, conserved and exhibited with the aim of making these very special discoveries accessible to a wider public. One miner is already being exhibited in the National Museum in Tehran: Here, the discoveries attract national and international attention and draw a particularly large number of visitors.
