?The age ofthe mummies varies: three ofthem date back tothe times ofthe Parthian (247 B.C. 224 A.D.) and Sassanian (224 A.D. 651 A.D.) Empires, while the rest apparently lived duringthe time ofthe Achaemenid Empire (550 B.C. 330 B.C.).

The remains ofthe first find and the murder victim inquestion is also the best preserved salt man: it retained a mane ofwhite hair and a lengthy beard, alongwith several artifacts including a golden earring. It remains unclear however what this apparently wealthy man was doing inthe mines duringthe time ofhis death and who killed him.
