DFW gets a jackal-headed god
Posted on December 22nd, 2008 by Harriet Baskas
In some parts of the country the buzz at the airport has been all about the forecast of snow. But at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport they were on the lookout for a giant jackal-headed god.

They weren’t disappointed. DFW International Airport welcomed the ancient Egyptian jackal-headed god Anubis, guide and protector of the dead, to the Airport’s Founders’ Plaza. The 10-ton, 26-foot-tall statue has a giant candy cane staff and is on duty to remind travelers that there’s a “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA).
