Extending the shelf life of honey

[Tartar Horde]

Two jars where found in KV62 (Kings Valley Tomb 62) belonging to king Tut, apparently still semi liquid. Honey was also used to preserve bodies as vessels have been found containing small Children submerged in Honey. Alexander the great was said to have been displayed in a Honey filled Sarcophagus for a while, but while you can take that with a pinch of Salt, there are historical precedents for this.
