Step 3

The mummy, after finishing being salted

Finishing dehydration

We placed the mummy back into salt after weighing it, to complete the dehydration process for the potato body.

We used the same salt as before, and placed the body back in the coffin. It had lost most of its moisture and was attached to many of the grains of salt. Most mummies turned black, however I stayed white, which was probably due to that the salt was covering it from the salt.
