The decedents of an English soldier recently put a well-preserved Egyptian Mummy head for sale in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The head is thought to be from the 750 and 800s before The Christian Era which makes the head almost 2,800 years old!<\/p>\n
The head was apparently smuggled by the English soldier while he was in Egypt during World War One.<\/p>\n
The decedents of the soldier stated that the head was stored in a wardrobe for decades since its finding and had not reached the light.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
They put the head up for 2000 English pounds, which is almost 25,000 USD.<\/h2>\n
The head will be auctioned off at the Swan Fine Arts auction in Tetsworth and is scheduled to be auctioned today, Wednesday, 3rd of May.<\/p>\n
According to Matthew Hall, an expert at Swan Fine Art auction, such an artifact is an amazing discovery; as it’s quite rare to see an Egyptian mummy from the Ancient World at auction, especially one in such excellent condition.<\/p>\n
A relative of the soldier who took the mummy’s head stated that if it was not sold, it would most likely be sent to a museum, where it could be displayed nonetheless.<\/p>\n
