What is the shelf life of various meats using only ancient preservation techniques?

E. B asked:


What is the shelf life of various meats (beef/fish/pork/poultry) using various ancient preservation methods (circa Ancient Egypt 3500-2000BC) in days/weeks/months. (salted vs unsalted)

Assume its being done by someone who knows what they are doing. The environment is very hot and dry, Freezing is not an option.

    Salted, dried, pickled or brined foods will last for years if properly prepared, especially meats. Fruits and vegetables will last weeks to months.
