Mummy folklore has its origins in the 19th century when Egypt was being colonized by France and, subsequently, by Victorian Britain. The first living mummies in fiction were mostly female, and they were presented in a romantic and sexual light, often as love interests for the protagonist. In reality, mummies are a type of undead known as “risen”. The Risen are undead that are animated by necromantic magicks. They do not have wills of their own nor their own minds. They simply follow the orders of the one that raised them. In the case of mummies they are much more resilient to physical damage than a zombie, likely due to the prayers and spells cast upon the corpse in millennia past. There have even been reports of mummies being decapitated or the victim of a headshot, that still continue forward. However, unlike a normal zombie, mummies are highly susceptible to flames. | Mummy folklore has its origins in the 19th century when Egypt was being colonized by France and, subsequently, by Victorian Britain.
