To the ancient Egyptians it did. They believed they needed to preserve the body as it would be used again in the afterlife.

When can you receive and eternity ring and can you purchase an eternity ring as a promise ring?

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.

Why did the Egyptians not remove the heart in the mummification process and why why did the Egyptians not take out the heart in the mummification process and why?

Oh honey, the Egyptians didn't remove the heart during mummification because they believed it was the center of a person's being, not just a blood-pumping machine. They wanted to keep that bad boy intact for the afterlife journey. Plus, who wants to deal with a squishy heart when you're trying to preserve a body for eternity? Not the Egyptians, that's for sure.

Did the Ancient Romans mummify their dead?

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.
