During mummification, ancient Egyptians primarily used natron, a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, to eliminate moisture from the body. Natron was used to desiccate the body, helping to preserve it for the afterlife by removing water and inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
