Dating back to the time of Alexander the Great mine is 40 kilometers long and has 18 levels, in some places the salt is 99% pure, it even has a Mosque and a train.......great pictures.

Thanks for sharing, that was really cool. If it wasn't so darn far away, I'd want to take a tour.

I think there's a salt mine in Poland with a salt cathedral. No link, sorry.
