Solved. Modern object.

The antiquities authority said Barak had identified the object as something which seeks to provide energy protection and “is intended for the use of naturopaths and people dealing with energy healing.”

“The object, which is produced by a German company, is called ‘Isis Beamer’ after the Egyptian goddess Isis,” they said.

“In Egyptian mythology she was the goddess of medicine, magic and nature,” the authority added in a Facebook post confirming the answer had been found.

The ministry said it had invited Barak for a visit, adding that: “We hope that those responsible for hiding the object in the cemetery will contact us and inform us why it was buried in an ancient structure and to whom of the dead they wished to give positive energy.”

Wow.. That is one amazingly precision tool for its time. Fascinating. It screams ROYALTY, doesn’t it. Food prep item for the high rollers (no pun intended).

Probably a spool valve from a hydraulic control unit.

The O rings are missing.

It’s one of Those. You know, Christmas morning you unwrap that thing from your eccentric Uncle and you exclaim, “Oh, it’s one of Those! I didn’t have one of Those before, and now I do!” Then you discreetly put it on Craigslist as “One of Those” and danged if somebody doesn’t buy it.

Facebook users crack Israel antiquities mystery

î £Modal Trigger Facebook users crack Israel antiquities mystery

JERUSALEM -- Israel's Antiquities Authority says Facebook users have solved the mystery of a gilded object thought to be an ancient Jewish relic.

Director of theft prevention Amir Ganor says police alerted his office six months ago to a gold scepter with eight grooves found in a Jerusalem cemetery.

Ganor says his office X-rayed the scepter and analyzed its materials. He mused whether it was used in the biblical Jewish Temples. Experts did not recognize it.

With no further ideas, the authority posted a picture on Facebook and one of 300 responders identified the object: It's a Weber Isis Beamer, a German device that supposedly creates "a protective field" against radiation.

"The wisdom of the masses has done its part," the authority said Tuesday.

The administration refers to it as an ISIL Beamer.

Google “Isis Beamer” and you’ll see them in different sizes with a flat wooden top and bottom on them, making them appear somewhat like an hourglass.

What a big honey dipper!

Gold colored? What sort of metal is it under the gold? How are the rings attached to the axis?
