GGG Ping.

Don't recall reading anything about the other three Salt Men.

Here are #'s one & two:

[Kirkwood]

"The upper part of the outer clothing of the Fourth Salt Man stretched to his knees, and his pants are short and did not completely cover his legs. He also wore a pair of leather shoes. In his belt, he had a sheathed dagger, probably made of iron.

In addition, he wore two earrings, which experts are currently studying. "'

This sounds like a description of a lot of kids I see on the street. Only thing missing is a baseball cap and a cell phone.

Two jugs were discovered near the body

Naturally. Being buried in salt is thirsty work.

Somewhere on FR there's a post (mine) or perhaps a whole topic on the Austrian Man of the Salt from over 2000 years ago. Alas, that body was discovered about 250 years ago, and instead of a museum, ended up in a graveyard.

Ah, here it is:
