A “meditating” mummy has been found in Mongolia

“Most such mummies that I’m aware of are ‘natural’ in the sense that they have not been subjected to extensive embalming practices as their Dynastic Egyptian counterparts were,” Olsen said. “Rather, a combination of a cold, dry climate and careful sequestering of the body in a spot that is not subject to radical fluctuations in temperature and humidity account for most of the corpses’ relatively good state of preservation.”
