Even ordinary citizens are mummified... also, mummies cannot be only applied to egyptians. Bog mummies are the best preserved mummies out there--even better than Egyptian mummies because with bogs, we can easily recreate how the person looks like or even what the person last ate before he/she died. It's pretty cool! check it out!
the mummies were important because it let the egyptians believe that whom they mummified (often Pharoahs or other rulers) would be going to the after life
you would probebly weigh about twice your weight because if the mummies from Egypt got mummified then yes they would be about half of your weight. :-]
