I want to make mummies, but I obviously can't make real ones. Is there a good way to create fake, but very real-looking mummies? I can provide real teeth for that authentic look but I need to make the actual mummy out of something else.

Why can't you make real ones? What's stopping you?

I'd start with a skeleton anatomical model like what you'd see in a classroom. Get a cheap $300 one and airbrush it an old dirty yellow color or buy a $500+ one that looks real already. Rough it up, poke some holes, break parts etc. For the skin start with wet paper as a base and put some ripped up thin cloth over it. Lots of airbrushing...

I would experiment with burning and melting plastics. Their shrinkage and bubbling on exposure to heat resembles the OP image a lot.
Plastics meaning synthetic. Fabrics from nylon and such, not plastic bottles.

Hauntforum had a how-to using a cheap plastic skeleton draped with plastic dust sheets then melted with a hot air gun and then stained. I've made lots of mummy heads using cheap foam skills and cotton wool and latex.

Frank Ippolito (Tested) did a tutorial on making a horror skull that would probably be a good place to start:

Latex & cotton, switch up the paint colors & add some dust weathering to make it look mummified instead of bloody.
