The first step has been taken by making cases for four of them being kept at Zanjan’s Zolfaqari Museum in a critical condition.
Six salt men, known as Iranian mummies, were discovered over the past 12 years at the Chehrabad Salt Mine around a place, which is surmised to be a collapsed tunnel built by the Achaemenids and was also in use during the Sassanid era.
The salt mine is located in the Hamzehlu region near Zanjan.
The Fourth Salt Man, which dates back to the Achaemenid era, is on display at Zanjan’s Zolfaqari Museum.
“A contract has been signed with a private company to make four cases, which will be equipped with an anti-moisture system,” director of the archaeological exactions at the Chehrabad Salt Mine Abolfazl Aali said.
The company is currently making the cases, he added.
“The cases, which are being made of glass and metal, will be very rigid. They will also be equipped with devices to control the vacuity of the space,” he explained.
The salt men are currently kept in plexiglass cases, which are not hermetically sealed. Changes in air temperature and pressure have created cracks in the cases, allowing bacteria and insects to enter and damage the mummies.
The First Salt Man, which is kept at the National Museum of Iran, was discovered 12 years ago. No change can be seen on it.
The Sixth Salt Man was left in-situ due to the dearth of equipment necessary for its preservation in Iran.
Zahi Hawass, Egypt's pre-eminent archaeologist, and Secretary General of the  The Supreme Council of Antiquities, has announced that a rare statue constructed of white marble whose features resemble Alexander the Great has been discovered in Egypt. Hawass also stated that there are satellite photographs identifying many archeological sites which may also reveal buried monuments.

Calliope Papacosta was leading the Greek archaeological excavation in Alexandria when the white marble statue was found.

"A ribbon around the head of the statue proves that it belongs to an important person for such ribbon was used only be''sic'' rulers," said Hawass, "The 80 cm long, 23 cm wide statue has been discovered eight meters deep under the earth surface."

Farouk Hosni, Egypt’s Culture Minister, is supporting archaeological dig sites and has set into place laws restricting illegal digging in confirmed archaeological sites which may contain historical monuments.  The monument photography project, National Authority for Remote Sensing, Space Sciences (NARRS) and Mubarak City for Scientific Research (MuCSAT) combined Satellites technology, aerial photography and ground laser to locate 132 sites which have not yet been excavated.  

One of these sites is north of Lake Qarun in the Faiyum area, and another at Habu city.  Archaeologists are presently being sent out by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism to areas before construction and building excavations to preserve invaluable archaeological treasures. At the Faiyum site near Cairo artifacts dating to diverse time periods have been found amongst these, an awl for stitching leather, fishing tackle, weapons, jewellery, pottery, coins, sawfish, whale fossils, and a 3150 BC block portraying one of the two leaders named King Scorpion.

Meanwhile, in other archaeological news, Iran's three salt mummies found in the Chehrabad Salt Mine in 1993 will be moved to a technologically advanced vacuum chamber display case in Zanjan for better preservation.  These mummies or ''Salt Men'' have been dated as being from the Parthian 237 BCE - 224 CE and Sassanid era, 224 - 651 CE.
