Personality
Mortal World
The mortal world knows little, if anything about him as Alim Al Rashid, however they may know him as the Salt Man, or via the exhibition, Salt Man: Lost Prince of Assyria. When Alim realised he was of an age where he risked eclipse, he made preparations and went to torpor in a tomb he knew of in his homeland. Discovered in 1993 by miners near the city of Zanjan, Salt Man was found in a sarcophagus, packed in salt, with long hair, a beard and some artifacts. Radiocarbon dating of different samples of bones and textiles, dated him to about 1,500 years ago and the clothes, artifacts and inscriptions have determined that the Salt Man was a hereto unmentioned Prince of Assyria under the Sassanid Empire. Recovered by the University of Tehran, the Salt Man himself in the Sarcophagus he was found in, photographs and reconstructions of the tomb walls, as well as some of the artifacts found in the tomb or replicas of them are now part of an exhibition that is travelling around the world under strict conditions and security.
