Ancient mummies were primarily mummified in Egypt, where the practice was deeply intertwined with their beliefs about the afterlife. The process took place in specially designated areas, often in homes or embalming workshops, and later in tombs designed for the deceased. Mummification involved removing internal organs, desiccating the body with natron, and wrapping it in linen, all aimed at preserving the body for eternity. While Egypt is the most famous for mummification, similar practices were found in other cultures, such as the Andes in South America.
In ancient Egypt the Egyptians took the mummified pharaohs and used a hook and took the brain out through the nose.
Some pharaohs had pets that they requested to have mummified
A group of mummified bodies is commonly referred to as a "necropolis." This term typically describes a large, ancient cemetery or burial ground, often associated with significant archaeological sites where multiple mummies are found, such as in ancient Egypt. In some contexts, it may also be called a "mummery" or simply a "burial site" if referring specifically to the mummified remains.
Mostly the Pharaoh would be mummified. There have been some cases where if the Pharaoh had a beloved pet they would mummify the animal as well and put it in the belongings chamber.

You've got it backwards. The kings and sometimes the Queen's of Ancient Egypt were considered gods. That is why there were mummified in the first place!! They were mummified to keep their bodies good and ready for immortalitiy to be bestowed on them. ☺
