Hallstatt Salt Worlds
In antiquity, Hallstatt was a thriving salt-mining and trading center. In 1734 the fully preserved body of a prehistoric miner was found in the Hallstatt Salt Mine, known today as the "Man in Salt".
Alas, the story doesn't have all that happy an ending. The body was reverently interred in the local cemetery, where it has by now rotted to dust. Hope remains that one or more other unfortunate miners of ancient times will someday be found in the collapsed ancient galleries.
