Sounds like the government procurement program in ancient Israel was managed by the same people who run the Pentagon procurement program . . . .

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.”

It’s OBVIOUSLY a kite-string reel.

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.
