Scientists discover 1,600-yr-old mummy of a sheep, & seismometres can trace wandering elephants Mohana Basu © Provided by The Print New Delhi:  A team of geneticists and archaeologists from Ireland, France, Iran, Germany, and Austria has sequenced the DNA from a 1,600-year-old sheep mummy from an ancient Iranian salt mine known as Chehrabad. This specimen has revealed sheep husbandry practices of the ancient Near East, as well as underlining how natural mummification can affect DNA degradation. The salt mine of Chehrabad is known to preserve biological material. It is in this mine that human remains of the famed “Salt Men” were recovered who had likely been killed in the salt mine disaster some 1,700 years ago.
