 Zombies can be killed by removing the head or destroying the brain, whereas mummies have already had their brains removed as part of the ritual process. Mummies are more akin to a lich, and often have a similar weakness of a magical amulet or canopic jar that must be destroyed.

Perhaps a mummy's weak point is just its heart, as they thought that was the center of cognition at the time.

Not necessarily, it was sometimes left in the body because they thought it was more important than the other organs. I think it changed depending on when and who it was done to but perhaps heartless mummies cannot reanimate.

Fun fact: Egyptian Brown, or Mummy Brown, was a popular pigment with painters from the 16th t century well into the 19th. It was, as the name suggests, made from ground up mummies. At its peak demand was so high that some mummy sellers took to manufacturing their own mummies from dead slaves and criminals as proper ancient mummies were increasingly hard to come by. Here's a painting mostly made from dead people  Probably a few dead cats as well

Probably. Mummy scrapings were a highly sought after medicine in the same period.

The good news is we can recreate a faithful sarcophagus juice anywhere in the world with very little effort!

They were also train food. We burned ancient corpses preserved for religious reasons to make the trains go. Shits hilarious.

There was far too much money to be made in paint and mummy tea for someone to want to throw one in the firebox.

I just went to a screening of boulevard nights last night. It’s in my top ten of all time. Such a beautifully heart breaking movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWVu98wfyho Then they ruined it by double featuring it with Walk Proud, which stars a blue eyed white guy (Robbie Benson) in brownface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUVfFaesEI0
