Ganor joked that he thought “that aliens landed from outer space and brought the object”.

Ganor confirmed that his office thoroughly x-rayed the object, which was believed to be some type of scepter.

After several months of tests and studies the Antiquities Authority, unable to assign a name to the mysterious object, has now turned to the public for help determining what the object is and how it ended up in the cemetery structure.

“[He] identified the object as a device that is supposed to provide “energetic protection” and is designed for use by naturopaths and those involved in New Age energy healing”, the IAA said in a post to social media. Talkbacks also suggested the item could be a cattle insemination instrument, an implement for rolling dough, a piece of industrial machinery, a massager or a cultic object used in the Temple. It is named after the Egyptian Goddess Isis, the patroness of nature and magic in Egyptian mythology.

The Antiquities Authority said Micah Barak, the man who correctly identified the object, has been invited to visit the group’s headquarters.
