I had to embalm someone in Egypt
In ancient Egypt a myth goes that Anubis helped to preserve (embalm) the body of Osiris and protected it, so that role transferred over to all dead of the Egyptian people.
The salt used to embalm bodies in ancient Egypt was called natron. This naturally occurring mineral, composed primarily of sodium carbonate, was crucial in the mummification process as it helped to desiccate the body and prevent decay. Natron was applied to the body and its cavities, allowing the Egyptians to preserve their dead for the afterlife.
