What is natron and how do you use it?
To make Natron you will need Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) and Sodium Chloride (Table Salt). Measure equal quantities of both 50/50 and mix together. Important Note: Natron is a desiccant which means that it absorbs water. You should therefore keep your mix in an airtight container to prevent it from adsorbing moisture from the atmosphere. Ancient Egyptians left human bodies in Natron for around 4 0 days to completely dry however, you will need to experiment with these times dependant on the size of the specimen to be mummified.

Why did Egyptians mummify bodies?
The Egyptians believed in an afterlife in a different world, but one similar in many respects. They felt that the body must be preserved for an afterlife to occur. The Egyptians mummified all bodies because they wanted all Egyptians to have a happy afterlife or life after death. Most people think that they only mummified the pharaohs but that is not the case. They just left better presents than for the non-pharaohs or peasants. They also put only the Pharaohs in elaborate tombs such as the Pyramids. They put non-pharaohs or peasants in regular casket-like containers.
