That's what a merge means, a mummy and a lich, they are not necessarily exclusive.
Wikipedia said:
In the Dungeons & Dragons game (and other works of fantasy fiction that draw upon Dungeons & Dragons for inspiration) a lich is often a spellcaster or someone assisted by a spellcaster who seeks to defy death by magical means.
So how exactly does a Mummy avoid death by magical means since it already died and got mummified?
Debating what a Lich is on a gaming forum.
By the way, if you appreciate the "Mummy Lich" so badly, why were you so opposed to the Vampire Knight again? Isn't it a merge between a vampire and a knight? By your logic that should work too!

What If a person decides to be Lich. Is he instantly skeleton-ized (I'm sorry but from now on I demand that this becomes a word)?
Does storing your soul in a jar or a crystal also drain away your skin?
Or is the lich so long in this state that he became skeletal? If that's the case, he must've been non-skeletal at some point in time. Was he not lich unitil he became skeleton? Maybe he was called undead wizard, but was renamed to lich, after his skin decayed and became skeleton?
What if a lich decided that he wants to preserve his body via mummyfication?
I don't know much about Liches ... so who knows?

1- Vampires have a set of very traditional and accepted looks which are very irrelevant to that knight, where as if you image search lich on google, you'll see many different faces... Some skeletal, some decayed in a mummified way and most in between. The sunk-in expectations are not analogous. And it's not strictly about logic but also taste, the vampires look horrible.
2- Mummification is a process, where as Tutankamon is a personality, dont confuse the two, it's like the difference between vampirism and Dracula. A lich can have a mummified face while avoiding death just like a skeletal face, it doesnt require him to have the story of an Egyptian mummy. Although, I find Lizard's version of Egyptian mummy lich additionally tasteful visually. The mythological origins and stories are secondary to the overall result. (Hence, nobody complains about the mechanical golems.)

Guys, guys. It's quite clear how this protest will end. They'll show us new and shiny stronghold and soon everyone will forget about Necropolis. 3 nicely modeled factions shown so far > Necropolis. Doubt this protest will accomplish anything.

Here's more ...
What if Vampire decides to equip sword and armor? You know to avoid the all powerfull stick in the hearth? Makes sence with all arrows flying about.
Is H7 Vampire stil vulnerable to crosses? That would explain the lack of sword ... maybe he would equip katana instead? 
How about garlic?
What if a knight gets bitten by a Vampire? Will he cease to be knight? Or are knights imune to Vampirism? Most important ... will he shed his arms and armor in this case in favour of tuxedo?

We all know there is only one true Lich, The Lich King:
So, Death Knight(that resemblance H6 and H7 Vampire a lot) is a Lich King, while on the other hand we have Liches drinking Venom and turning into Vampires.
Everything is starting to make sense now...

If a vampire bites a knight that's not news but if a knight bites a vampire, now, that's news.
