00:08However, despite its constant habitation over that time, archaeologists have just unearthed a new find, and it's positively stumping them.
00:16These are ducks that were recently unearthed in the Israeli city, and experts have no idea what they were used for.
00:21The researchers' initial theory was that they were perhaps once used for blood flow related to ritual sacrifice.
00:26However, a forensic analysis has revealed no traces of ancient blood present in the tubes.
00:31The ducks are in two groups, each of which are around 30 feet apart.
00:35Here's the director of excavation with the Israeli Antiquities Authority, Yiftach Sheleb, to explain.
00:40What was the purpose of this installation, we don't really know.
00:44There are no parallels to such an installation, not here in Israel, neither in other places in the world.
00:50We know that installation is dated to the late 9th century BCE, almost 2,800 years ago, during the time of the first temple period in Jerusalem.

01:33But they're also made of a village.
01:36They were a family that was uninhabited.
01:38They were on the streets.
01:39The people of a village, we all visited the village, right?
