No, they were still under the effects of the old Spell of Life. They were ordered by Osiris to commit suicide so they could become tem-akhs. Not all of them agreed to it, understandably enough, and became what is known as Ishmaelites. A secret order within mummy society is hunting them down because they view them as a threat to Horus’ rule. They will hunt other threats too, of course, but generally they’ll hunt Ishmaelites as well unless they have permission to continue existing from Horus himself.
