A mummy is a dead person who needs to be preserved. This was most oftenly practiced by the Ancient Egyptians. They did this because the person needed to be recognizable for the Ba and the Ka so it could proceed in the after life.

mummies r preserved pharaohs or upper class of ancient Egypt

---------------------------------

nah, even peasants were mummified..not just as elaborate as the pharoahs. And there are different kinds of mummies. mummies aren't only found in Egypt but they are all over the world--probably not preserved precisely as how egyptians have done them but they are mummies nonetheless. Some mummies found in Europe still retains their facial feature and what they ate on their last meal can still be identified

mummy is a mummy because the egyptians called them like that because they took all there organs except the heart because they though the mummy spirit was in there or something similar.

The English word mummy is derived from medieval Latin mumia, a borrowing from the Persian mum which means bitumen
