Mummification was likely not invented so much as discovered. Early Egyptian burial simply involved leaving a body out in the Sahara, which provided sufficiently dry conditions for natural preservation, provided it was protected from scavengers.

Over time, this process was refined and made more elaborate, not by any one person but by a slow process of cultural and religious development.
