Video: Salt helps the Egyptian mummy survive for thousands of years

Anyone who has seen the mummy knows that the ancient Egyptians encountered many difficulties in preventing decomposing corpses. So how did they succeed in this?

Natron salt helps inhibit or stop the decomposition process of the body.

Living cells always regenerate themselves, special enzymes have the role to decompose old structures, using raw materials to form new cells.

Natron kills bacteria, helps prevent decomposition and prevents digestive enzymes from continuing to function. Natron salt helps to inhibit or stop the decomposition process of the body, preserving almost intact mummies for a long time.

Natron is not a common salt. It is primarily made up of two types of alkaline salts: soda ash and baking soda.
