Egyptian archaeologist Ahmed Saleh revealed that the head of the small Pharaonic king Tutankhamun is being offered for sale at Christie's British auction house, pointing out that the head was valued at four million pounds sterling.

The Financial Times quoted a hotel official, Litita Delalui, as saying she had been in constant contact with the Egyptian authorities about her plans to sell the antiquities and would send details of the head and other artifacts to the Egyptian authorities when the catalog was published this week.

This is the first time the head of a private group in the open market has appeared since 1985 and is due to be sold on July 4.

The high estimate of the artifact - sold by a special group known as the Risandro Collection - also reflects the fact that Tutankhamen statues rarely appear on the market, most of which are now in museums.

The stone head is about 3,000 years old and bears the features of Tutankhamun, the most famous Egyptian pharaoh, who died before he was probably 20 years old.

The little pharaoh gained fame as the only pharaoh who found an entire archaeological expedition in the century before his entire tomb, including his mummies, golden cloak, statues and bedroom buried with him.

The king of Akhenaten, whose father was King Akhenaten, was baptized by King Akhenaten after King Akhenaten decided to move the capital from Tiba (Qena to the south) to the Amarna hill in central Egypt (Minya) and to call for the worship of God One called Aton, while Tutankhamun returned to the title of Amun and returned to Tuba and died there.
