No, not all bodies are mummified the same way. Different cultures and regions have their own unique mummification techniques, influenced by their beliefs, environment, and available resources. For example, ancient Egyptians used a complex process involving embalming and wrapping in linen, while some Andean cultures utilized natural desiccation methods in dry environments. Each method reflects the cultural practices and spiritual beliefs surrounding death and preservation.

How did they mummify King Tutankhamun?

They mummified Tutankhamun in the same way as any other pharaoh, the only difference was that Tutankhamun's mummification and burial seemed rushed, probably as he hadn't finished his tomb and had to take the one designed for his wife's grandfather, who was to become the next king. This meant they had to change things quickly before the body decomposed and had to hurry it.

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.

What group's bodies were mummified in ancient Egypt?

Both poor and rich were mummified because if they were not then their bodies would rot. However, when they buried possessions with the body, rich people normally had shabtis to serve them in the afterlife. The rich also had better items than the poor people. Poor people were just wrapped in linen and buried. The rich would have tombs and coffins and priests would recite spells so that evil would not harm the rich on the way to their after-life. Only people who could afford this process would go through the mummification process. : )
