The Egyptians did NOT mummify their dead. They only mummified rulers, who were considered gods.
It is so difficult to gain perspective from this many years distant, but there were only a few dozen mummifications, not a general burial practice.

The ancient Egyptians believed that when someone died, their soul left their body. The soul would then return and be reunited with the body after it was buried. However, the soul needed to be able to find and recognise the body in order to live forever.
