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.)

Mummies were made by Egyptians in order to preserve the bodies after death. This means that mummies are not alive.

Why did they stop making Mummies?

The egyptions stopped making mummies because first a fall they believed that if they will wrap the dead body with the white cloth and keep some belongings of that dead body like clothes ,cups in which they drink something so in a day or two that dead person will be alive but when scientists and acheologists reserched on that particular thing they found that the dead body eaten by the insects and then they told this thing to the people of egypt so they stopped making mummies.


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)
