This process, called a mummy, helps protect the corpse of ancient Egyptians and make them suitable for the afterlife. Corruption of the human body and animals body requires moisture. In ancient Egypt, on a very dry or dry land, the mummification process was completed by very dry the body. The first mummy discovery time was about 2,900 bce, the process slowly improved over time. The basic technique of the mummy is to take all organs out of the body and then treat the lumen or space with a mixture of dry chemicals. This mixture, natron, consists of four salts: sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. Sodium carbonate functions as a desiccant for extracting moisture from the body. At the same time, bicarbonate creates a harsh environment for bacteria, a small organism that causes spoilage.

The key ingredient of the mummification is Natron, or netry, holy salt. It is a mixture of naturally occurring sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride in Egypt, most commonly found in Wadi Natrun about 64 km northwest of Cairo. Common salt is also used for a more economical burial, but it has a dry, degreased character and is a preferred desiccant.
