"I see Egypt and the Egyptians -- I see the pyramids and obelisks;

I look on chiseled histories, songs, philosophies, cut in slabs

I see at Memphis mummy-pits, containing mummies, embalm'd, swathed

Mummies are the reanimated, preserved bodies of the long dead. Though the different varieties of mummy all have different traits, the one common theme through them all is their ability to give you death curses: terrible afflictions that strike the moment you land the killing blow. The weakest mummies can be found throughout the Dungeon, while the strongest tend to be found only in the Crypt and the Tomb.
