![]() ![]() The cutis revealed radiological signs of direct interaction with the natron in the form of covering and possibly permeation." (Stephanie Panzer, Farzad Borumundi, Johann Wanek, Christina Papageorgopoulou, Natallia Shved, Giovanni Colacicco, Frank Ruhli. The viscera were removed and stored in jars known today as the canopic jars, while the body was soaked into Natron salt for 70 days until it was dehydrated, artificial eyes replaced the real eyes which had dehydrated, then the body is wrapped with 100 's of meters of gum-coated linen and the jewels were inserted within the layers of the wrapping. 1 The lake is within the Lake Natron Basin, a Ramsar Site wetland of international significance. organs were dried using natron, a naturally occurring carbonate salt which was found in Egypt. In addition to being relatively microbe-free, the desert in Egypt is rich in a mineral called natron that contains both salt and baking soda its an ideal. ![]() It is in the Gregory Rift, which is the eastern branch of the East African Rift. Evaluated tissues revealed different radiological changes during the experiment, which altogether led to preservation of the tissues without radiologically indentifiable destruction. Lake Natron is a salt or alkaline lake located in north Ngorongoro District of Arusha Region in Tanzania. Their conclusion states "Radiological findings showed a regular, controlled and effective dehydration by the applied natron without detectable putrefaction. The limb was dehydrated by the natron and without atrophy. Sun, fire or other sources of heat were sometimes used to dehydrate the bodies, as well as using. CT and MRI scans were performed throughout testing and the results found were supportive of what we believe of mummification in ancient Egypt. Mummification of bodies was a natural process used in Egypt and other cultures, where the dryness of the sand or salts in which the body was buried, the heat or coldness of the climate, or the absence of air in the burial helped preserve the body. They received a lower limb from a donor post-mortem and mummified it with artificial natron in the same processes and recipes shown by ancient Egyptians. Members of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from Paracelsus Medical University, and the Institute of Anatomy from the University of Zurich teamed up in research on the artificial mummification of human tissue by natron. ![]()
