Because of Isis. When Seth murdered his brother Osiris, he cut his body into pieces before he hid them in 14 different locations. Isis found the body parts and put them together to make the first mummy. She protected it with amulets and spells.

Mummification was important to the Ancient Egyptians because once the mummies were finished with their 3,000 years of the afterlife, the soul can find the body and come back to it.
