Egyptians Used The Chemical Natron To Dry Out The Body And Prevent It Rotting Away
You could use any number of spices and seasonings to substitute for salt. What you choose to use would depend on food types.
Natron.
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.
Any type of sodium chloride for humans use.
