Indeed! I saw a documentary about salt here on Swedish television, and it was absolutely fascinating stuff, the way salt was of the top-three-or-so strategic resource for hundreds of years. Salt was, of course, one of the few alternatives when it came to storing food for prolonged periods of time, and as such vitally important to many countries.
