A mixture of Na2CO3.10H2O and NaHCO3.
Soda ash and cubic-saltpeter are the chemicals found in natron (mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate and sodium bicarbonate).
Any group one salts; Ca, Sr, Ba salts; nitrate salts; NH4 salts; C2H3O2- salts; Cl, Br, I salts except AgCl, PbBr2, and Hg2Cl2; SO42- salts except BaSO4, PbSO4, Ag2SO4 and SrSO4; Group II carbonates are insoluble.
Copper salts are salts of copper as chlorides, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate etc.
Some lead salts are white or colorless but other are colored (pink, yellow, black).
Chlorides are salts of the hydrochloric acid (HCl).
There is no definite answer, but many believe that mummies were embalmed with natron salts, which is a mixture of different salts and occurs naturally in salt lakes. Fun fact: the chemical symbol for sodium, Na, comes from "natron."
A mineral of hydrous sodium carbonate, Na2CO3·10H2O, often found crystallized with other salts.
Natron is a form of salt containing mostly sodium carbonate which forms naturally in certain parts of Egypt. Like other salts in solution, if forms crystals as it dries. Natron was the substance used by the Ancient Egyptians to draw the moisture from mummies in order to preserve them. This word is the reason why the chemical symbol for sodium is "Na".
The main salt was called natron They used it so the corpse wouldn't come back to life as a zombie -Sweetsoul

In ancient Egypt they used natron to dry out the mummies. Natron was what they put on the mummies skin for 40 days so that the body wouldn't rot.

Natron is a mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate and around 17% sodium bicarbonate with small amounts of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. Natron is naturally occurring.
Natron is a salty chemical found near Cairo, Wadi-Natron, and south of Thebes. Egyptians used natron to embalm the body which took 70 days. Embalmers used natron to preserve the dead body and their organs. The bodies were placed in natron and embalmers packed the inside of the body with natron. This was to dry out the body and preserve it for the afterlife. Embalmers may have reused the natron. Ancient Egyptians had to preserve the body because they believed that if the body decayed the person's seven spirits would be lost forever and the spirit would never pass to the afterlife. Therefore, natron played an important role in the mummification process.
Natron crystals were used so the body didn't rot.
natron is made of baking soda and salt , in fact it was used for the mummification process
