the tomb's owner left us his genealogy - that's cool!

I heard once that the Egyptians mummified mice so that their mummified cats would have something to eat.
The first version of the story of “ Of mice and men.”
Mummified or simply desiccated and thus petrified?
I didn’t see any Mouse-sized winding cloths, as one might have done for pets.
1Sa 6:3 And they said: ‘If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return Him a guilt-offering; then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.’
1Sa 6:4 Then said they: ‘What shall be the guilt-offering which we shall return to Him?’ And they said: ‘Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
1Sa 6:5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel; peradventure He will lighten His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
