Best Answer

The first mummifications of Human or animal remains were not invented, but part of a natural process of dehydration, whether through cold exposure (such as in high mountains) or heat (such as in deserts).

The most famous mummies are those from Egypt, of course, where desert heat and natron were used along with bitumen to preserve remains. Other well-known mummies are those in South-America and certain parts of Asia.

Japan once had a series of monks who acted upon dehydration regimes to become "living mummies", effectively starving and dehydrating themselves to death until they became mummified at the onset of death.
