Why did Mayans bury the dead under their homes?
To my knowledge, they only mummified their kings (though there are some Incan remains of human sacrifice victims or ordinary people that have been naturally mummified in ice). They did this because they continued to serve and worship their kings after they died, carrying them around on platforms in parades and bringing them food every day.

Were only men turned into mummies?
My heavens no!! have you ever head of hatshepsut?? she was a very powerful ruler of egypt and not too long ago, egyptologists found her mummified body. So no... it was not only men that were mummified. although it may seem like it because mostly men were rulers of egypt but mummies werent always rulers or pharaohs, occasionaly they were great people who just were very important and the Egyptians thought they deserved life after death as well, so they mummified them. hope this helps :)
