Well mummification involves removing the brain and major internal organs so at least physically it probably won't work.
I think the goal was to have a good time in the afterlife. And I guess by disturbing their graves we've prevented that from happening :-) Or, they had already enjoyed a few millennia there and don't mind the change...
On a serious note it is surprising to see them just let large groups of people in to touch and snap pictures
They didn't believe in "life after death" like Christians do. After death, your soul got rigorously tested. And if it passed the tests, you got to the afterlife. It was actually a lot more complicated, in that they thought that there seven souls, but whatever.
Bottom line, though, was that survival in the afterlife depended on the integrity of your mummy. They removed the brain and internal organs because mummification didn't work, otherwise.
