Three thousand years after Pharaoh Tutankhamun's entombment in a golden sarcophagus in Ancient Egypt, the boy king has been reincarnated -- in 1,200 pounds of golden butter.
To coincide with the opening in Dallas of the National Geographic exhibit Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs (which runs from this week until May next year), the signature butter sculpture at this year's State Fair of Texas has an Egyptian theme.
