Is there a difference between mummified and decayed?
Yes, mummification (as in the ancient Egyptians) is when a body is preserved in such a way that it doesn't decay. "Mummified" means "preserved from decay" in some way, either natural or artificial. Decay is the overall breakdown or destruction of biological material, and usually destroys soft tissue such as skin. However, mummification means that the skin or outer layer is less affected. This typically occurs through drying, or the application of chemicals that prevent bacterial action.

How and why did they mummify bodies?
Many countries mummified people, but I will focus on Egypt. The Egyptians believed that people (and animals) had souls, known as Ba (shown as a bird) that was tied to the body. If the body were to be destroyed or decayed then the Ba would die. To make sure that that did not happen, they mummified the body. Mummifacation was not just for the Pharoahs, or the High Priests, but was available to everyone. Not just common townspeople, but animals and pets.
