To the ancient Egyptians it did. They believed they needed to preserve the body as it would be used again in the afterlife.
It did not really have a name. It was the mummification process.
Usually eternity rings are given later in a marraige when you are sort of reaffirming that you would do it again. 25 years is sort of a normal time. I have heard people say that it is the ring they WOULD have given if they could have afforded it when they were young. However, I think, if you can afford it, promising eternity is a cool thing. Sure ups the expectation of what the wedding ring will look like though. :o) Just remember that when you give a promise ring, engagement ring, wedding ring, it is considered a gift and doesnt' have to be returned if you break up.

No. The ancient Greeks believed in a completely different group of Gods then the ancient Egyptians. In Greek culture, the tradition was to sprinkle dust on the deceased and place a coin under their tongue for passage on the river Styx to get to the underworld. It was considered complete disrespect to the Gods if a family did not do this and the deceased's soul would not be allowed into the underworld and be left to wander around for all eternity.
The word 'mummification' is a noun, a word for a process; a word for a thing.
Mummification was located in Ancient Egypt abpout 5,000 years ago.
