Iran Archaeological excavations in Great Ancient Defense Wall of Gorgan باستان شناسي ديوار گرگان

The Great Wall of Gorgan is a series of ancient defensive fortifications located near Gorgan in the Golestān Province of northeastern Iran, at the southeastern corner of the Caspian Sea. The western, Caspian Sea, end of the wall is near the remains of the fort at: 37.13981°N 54.1788733°E; the eastern end of the wall, near the town of Pishkamar, is near the remains of the fort at: 37.5206739°N 55.5770498°E. The title coordinate is for the location of the remains of a fort midway along the wall.
The wall is located at a geographic narrowing between the Caspian Sea and the mountains of northeastern Iran. It is one of several Caspian Gates at the eastern part of a region known in antiquity as Hyrcania, on the nomadic route from the northern steppes to the Iranian heartland. The wall is believed to have protected the Sassanian Empire to the south from the peoples to the north, probably the White Huns. However, in his book Empires and Walls Chaichian (2014) questions the validity of this interpretation using historical evidence of potential political-military threats in the region as well as the economic geography of Gorgan Wall's environs.
It is 195 km (121 mi) long and 6–10 m (20–33 ft) wide, and features over 30 fortresses spaced at intervals of between 10 and 50 km (6.2 and 31.1 mi). It is surpassed only by the Great Wall of China as the longest defensive wall in existence.
Among archaeologists the wall is also known as The Red Snake due to the colour of its bricks. In Persian, it is mistakenly named Alexander Barrier (سد اسکندر Sadd-i-Iskandar), as Alexander the Great is said to have passed through the Caspian Gates on his hasty march to Hyrcania and the east. It is also known as the Anushirvân Barrier (سد انوشیروان) and Firuz/Piruz Barrier (سد پیروز), and is officially referred to as Gorgan Defence Wall (دیوار دفاعی گرگان). It is known as Qïzïl Yïlan or Qazal Al'an to local Turkmens.

I like to know how they lived in this mine. What their economic condition was like. Where they slept and where they planted their food. I'd like to know how many they were and whether they had a family or lived alone.
20. Various of excavation site near salt mine
21. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abolfazl Afshar, Cultural Deputy of Zanjan's Cultural Heritage Organisation
The experts say that they were buried here when the mines collapsed because of earthquake or something. The mine collapse blocked the exit passages and they got trapped here. Their bodies became salt-cured and remained undamaged for more than 2700 years. Right now their flesh and even the tissues of the food they had eaten and their belongings have remained unchanged.

Archaeologists have done archaeology activities in similar salt mines in countries such as Austria and retrieved information as to how the miners worked there and so on. However, a salt mine like Chehrabad where such intact bodies have remained is unique and there is no other mine like this in the world.

LEAD IN
When five people entered a salt tunnel near Chehrabad of Zanjan, 2700 years ago, they couldn't have imagined that centuries later their bodies would be regarded as a great archaeological discovery.
They all died in the mine and their bodies were preserved by the salt.
STORYLINE
There six salt men in total, all discovered, apparently by accident, between 1993 and 2007 in the Chehrabad salt mine near Zanjan in northwestern Iran.
Some of the mummies are thought to date back as much as 2700 years, to the Achaemenid (550-331 BC) and Sassanid Empires (226-651).
The first salt man was found accidentally by miners at the Chehrabad salt mine in 1993.
He's approximately 35 years old, but has long white hair and a beard.
He was discovered wearing leather boots and also had some tools in his possession.
In January 2005, the third salt man was dug up.
