Egyptians used Natron Salt to mummify stuff
NO, mummies are people that are are wrapped in some kind of tissue. mummies are believed to still be alive after they are dead.
They covered it with natron salt, melted resin, tree sap, and spices.
They are wrapped in linen; wrapped with over 40 yards of them. They dry out the body with a natural salt called natron, then they freaking take the guts out (they leave the heart in) and yank out the brain through the nostrils with a long hook, bit by bit. Then the embalmers flushed out the skull and as they waited for the water to drain, they sewed the holes back together. Next, the embalmers rubbed the body with spices and oils to restore the body's softness. Finally, they start wrapping. The wrapping can take as long as 40 days to finish wrapping.

Natron, the name of a naturally occurring sodium carbonate compound, was used in the embalming process during the preparation of mummies. Deposits of this mineral were mined from dry lake bottoms in Egypt.

Well, honey, when embalmers cover a body with salt, it's called desiccation. The salt draws out moisture from the body tissues, helping to preserve it by inhibiting bacterial growth. So, in layman's terms, it's like turning that body into a human beef jerky. Yeehaw!

Mummies didn't live anywhere. A mummy is what you get when you dry out and make a nice parcel out of a dead body. The place most associated with mummies is Egypt.
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.
Yes Salt can dry out your skin...or at least Salt Water can like the Ocean

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.
