How old are the salt mummies?
The ancient salt mummies are dated to the Achaemenid (550–330 BC) and Sassanid (3rd–7th century AD) time period and died in mining incidents.
Do we still mine salt?
Solution mining of deep salt beds started in the 19th century in central Kansas and is still used today. In this process, freshwater is forced down a cased well to dissolve the salt and produce brine (water heavily saturated with dissolved salt). The brine is pumped to the surface and evaporated to recover the salt.
