16	An index of tropes about mummies, which are preserved corpses often wrapped in gauze bandages. They usually end up rising from their tombs as zombie-like beings. Mummies are usually pharaohs or other important people who lived and died millennia ago in AncientEgypt, perhaps calling upon the powers of [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Anubis]] to help them cheat death.

18	This is a sub-category of the UndeadIndex. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] tropes about mothers -- TheParentTrope is the index for that.
