No. On the off chance they were alive at the start of the mummification process, they certainly wouldn't have been at the end, since the lungs, liver, stomach and intestines were removed from the body and placed in separate "canopic jars". (This practice stopped later, because it was no longer necessary due to improvements in the embalming process. However, this process would have killed anyone subjected to it as well.)

Who were put in the Egyptian tombs?

the Egyptian mummies were pharaohs aka kings. all of them were also males. ------------------------ LOL we in the world do you get your answers?? I've seen them all over and they are a bunch of b*LL. Egyptian mummies are Egyptian mummies. Not only pharoahs are mummified but even common people...and YES even FEMALES. Do think the egyptians would secure only the pharoah's passage to the after-life by mummifying his body?? of course almost everyone were mummified. It was in their culture to mummify the dead NOT male pharoahs (in case you did not know.. they were SOME FEMALE PHAROAHS as well)

How do mummies die?

When a person or animal dies, bacteria on the body causes it to decompose, eventually leaving just the skeleton behind. But sometimes, if the conditions are just right, a body will be mummified instead. A mummy is any dead body where the fleshy parts have been somehow preserved.Ancient mummies do not decay because they have been preserved.The blackened corpses were mistakenly credited to the use of bitumen in the embalming process.Not all mummies come from Egypt and are wrapped. In fact, mummies come from all over the world and have been found on every continent.
