How far did they bury Mummies and did they really stick a hook up the mummy's nose and pull their brains out with the hook?
Assuming the question is about Egyptian mummies, the depth the mummy was buried depended on the family's wealth and social status. Only the more wealthy people could afford the full mummification process. Poorer people were buried in shallow desert graves, where dryness of the desert would create a natural mummy. The wealthier mummies would be interred in tombs, the most commonly recognised tomb is the mastaba, the body buried deep (~30ft) below the ground, the shaft blocked up by rocks. As for the mummification process - yes, the brain was removed. the Egyptians did not know what purpose the brain functioned, they believed that thought and personality lived in the heart. To avoid damaging the head, the brain was pulverised using a hook on a wire, and removed through the nasal cavity.

What did mummies go through?
What do you mean? Like how they become a mummy Mostly what happens though, is that their organs are removed and placed in jars. then their brain is removed through the nose using an instrument called a brain hook. The body is soaked in a liquid, then the fabric is wrapped around the body. the mummifier puts charms of good luck and good spirit, that they believed would help them in the underworld. they put these charms in between the layers of cloth. Then when the person is buried, their organs in jars (not their brain) are buried with them. Hope this helps! Next time be more precise with your question though.
