preserving bodies

Mummy with all the posture, sitting even raw hair, smiling mummy, mummy face made from pelican skin ... are the mysterious mummies of the ancient Chinchorro in the Atacama desert

Natron salt helps to inhibit or stop the decomposition process of the body, preserving almost intact mummies for a long time.

Egyptians used elaborate, meticulous processes with many materials to process the body, helping preserve the mummy intact for thousands of years.
