you cant be properly mummified while you're still alive, you have to like drain the body and remove organs and keep them in solution for a long time, if she was still alive she would probably just be all decayed by now
While that is true for most mummifications, if this particular person was found in time and put under glass, with special attention to environmental air (or lack thereof), she could look this good.
If the legend's true, then her death is all the more sad thanks to her hands being like that. It shows that she gave up and simply waited for death to take her.
ok I tried
