The drying out process in mummification, primarily achieved through the use of natron (a naturally occurring salt), was essential to prevent decay and preserve the body for the afterlife. By removing moisture, it inhibited the growth of bacteria and fungi, which are responsible for decomposition. This preservation was critical in ancient Egyptian beliefs, where the body was seen as a vessel for the soul in the afterlife. Thus, the drying out process was a fundamental step in ensuring the deceased could successfully transition to the next world.
