The process of preserving a human or animal body with chemicals is called mummification. Mummies have been found on every continent, both as a result of natural mummification (extreme cold, low humidity, or lack of air) or deliberate mummification. The mummies of ancient Egypt are the most well known, but the practice flourished in South America and Asia as well.
The oldest mummy is the body of a child found in the Camarones Valley of Chile, dated from around 5050 BCE.

Were mummies ever mummified alive?
No. On the off chance they were alive at the start of the mummification process, they certainly wouldn't have been at the end, since the lungs, liver, stomach and intestines were removed from the body and placed in separate "canopic jars". (This practice stopped later, because it was no longer necessary due to improvements in the embalming process. However, this process would have killed anyone subjected to it as well.)
