NO. Ancient Egyptians used mummification and this had not been the practice in Egypt for centuries before Muslims invaded Egypt in 639 C.E. Mummification uses salt to remove water from the body, the body is wrapped tightly in bandages and resin. Muslims wash the body of a deceased person, wrap it in loose cloth, and bury it in a shallow grave. It is a completely different process.
The fingers and toes were often simply covered in linen while the wrapping was taking place. Many priests wrapped them individually.
The total number of days that mummification usually took was around 70 days. During this day, the body had to be cleaned, dried, and cleaned again before it was finally wrapped, and each process took between a 10 and 15 days each.
Herbs were put into the body after the major organs were removed. The mummification was to preserve the body for the life the person would have in the afterlife.
