Next the embalmers put natron salt inside and they rubbed it with oils and spices, while saying prayers as properly. Journal of Biological Research - Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale: Vol. From the weight of the sodium salt and the volume of air in the room, we easily calculate that one part by weight of air could not contain more than 1/20 millionth weight of sodium. The organs were filled with natrons and spices and had been put into 4 canopic jars, and later placed in the tomb of the mum. The high standard of artificial mummification in ancient Egypt. tuberculosis complex DNA in Egyptian mummiesĮpidemiological analysis of tomb complexes from the necropolis of Thebes-West KEY WORDS: Mummification, histological analysis, natron, salt, tissue conservation. Preservation and identification of ancient M. Histological investigation of a bone core biopsy of the Tyrolean Iceman 1 (2005): V World Congress on Mummy Studies - Turin, Italy, 2nd-5th September 2004 Journal of Biological Research - Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale: Vol. Natron è un sale chimico (Na 2 CO 3), che veniva utilizzato dalle antiche società delletà del bronzo nel Mediterraneo orientale per una vasta gamma di scopi, soprattutto come ingrediente nella fabbricazione del vetro e come conservante usato nella fabbricazione delle mummie. Histological and biochemical evidence for an intravital stab wound on Ötzi´s right hand We suggest that empiric observations led the ancient Egyptians to realize the functional advantages of natron over sea salt, leading to optimal conservation of cadavers. Histological tissue preservation was better in the natron sample. natron was used for medicine, cookery, agriculture, in glass-making and to dehydrate Egyptian mummies.
It was produced in Egypt, Middle East and Greece. The heart in natron dehydrated more rapidly than the heart in salt. Natron, a naturally occurring salt found in the Wadi el-Natrun which is located in the desert west of the Nile Delta. Natron or native soda, a natural compound of sodium salts, was a very important product in Ancient history. The total weight of the two samples differed significantly during the period of observation, but was most obvious during the first 5 weeks. One was embedded in natron, the other in sea salt up to 69 days at 37☌ using Egyptian mummification procedures. In order to contrast the effect of natron and salt in artificial mummification, we compared two pig hearts of similar size.
However, it still remains unclear why the ancient Egyptians used specific dehydration substances, such as natron, and not other comparable ones, such as sea salt (widely used for conserving foodstuffs). The high standard of artificial mummification in ancient Egypt seems to result from a long period of empiric assessment.
