That is ISIS- ‘The World’s Most Difficult Puzzle.’
“Each ISIS is unique, with just one solution. The puzzle is a gleaming orb, handcrafted in England of a premier alloy of aluminum and constructed of precisely engineered, movable bands. Each band is etched with hieroglyphics and the challenge is to position those bands in the right combination to unlock the ISIS. Each individual ISIS is etched with two unique 10-digit numbers, one visible on the outside, the other hidden on the inside, only uncovered when you solve the globe puzzle.”

Its obviously a songbox.
You put pressur eon the top and bottom, then it splits in twain and the music comes out.
For practical demonstration, see Simpsons -

Have none of you guys seen Mysterious Cities of Gold?! It’s obviously a robot from an ancient and advanced civilisation that mysteriously went into ruin.

Haven’t seen the movie, yet, but this looks like what I imagine the altheiometer from Pullman’s “The Golden Compass” might look like.

This is the ISIS. It’s a unique ball puzzle that is supposed to be challenging. I saw it at the Sharper Image.

Yes, it is the Isis puzzle BUT, the original was found in the empty sarcophagus of Muttakamenic choatus Rhagi, the infamous court wizard to King Tutankhamun who was put to death for casting wayward glances at Nefreti. The ‘Death Orb’ was placed in his body and he was buried alive. The purpose was to imprison his soul for all time, but because every prison has to have a door, it was to have a lock. Whomever was so foolish to unlock the door would be immediately possessed by the released soul. It is also rumored that the original Death Orb has dissappeared from the Cairo museum and there is some speculation that it was placed among the replicas by a cult follower so that some unsuspecting puzzle solver would open the prison and be possessed, thus returning an ancient evil to the world of man.
I got one for Christmas and throew it away.

Sure it’s a soul-stealing Egyptian puzzle orb…
But I bet it could carry ice too

As a side note, the puzzle has been said to be really easy. Don’t waste 200 US dollars on it.

Unfortunately, you’re all wrong.
This is a very sad picture of an orphan Gorbleflax from the planet Doo-Lamay. This sad creature was caught sticking its tail out the window of their spaceship as it passed our solar system, and was unforunately caught up in Earth’s gravitational pull.
Found in a rice paddy in Shenzhen province, China, and raised to age six by the farm family who found her, she eventually outgrew the farm life and pursued a law degree at Oxford.
Ridiculed by the other students, she took to tattooing herself with cryptic symbols she happened to find interesting after drinking too much cider on weekends off.
Finally, on a cold but clear day in winter ‘99, she felt a strange pulsing inside her. Although never told what it was, she knew it was a homing signal. She spent an all-too-brief week saying her goodbyes to all her friends (but NOT to that two-timing loser Phillip), and vanished into the ether just after dinner on March 3, 1999.
She will be missed.

Oh, I know! It’s the little puzzle that when you open it begins to play music…like in the Simpsons episode where Homer sneaks Lisa into the museum after it closes.

For those of you who know what movie I’m talking about, it’s the “Star Map” from the movie “Treasure Planet”. Why someone would make one yet, since we can barely get to the closest planet to our, let alone the far reaches of the universe, is unknown to me.

I think everyone here saw the Simpson’s episode and clearly knows its the Orb of Isis.
Not the best choice for “What is It?” But just for kicks, I’ll say its the most ancient Killer
Egyptian Orb, daddy of all those small metal orbs from the movie “The Phantasm.” -

Due to the fact that digital media formats are unreadable in some decades, people tried to invent a non-destructable device where knowledge / information is stored inside in very tiny letters readable with simple DIY optical devices.

The Isis Adventure: Puzzles & Logic Games.
As seen on BBC2’s DRAGONS’ DEN Welcome to the ISIS Adventure, possibly the most difficult puzzle in existence, (well according to its creators). Now its your turn to put their theory to the test. The ISIS Ball is an alloy orb constructed in layers and covered in cryptic hieroglyphics. All you have to do is open it by cracking the combination. Youve heard of the riddle of the sphinx, well this is bound to rival any ancient conundrum!Once youve cracked the combination and opened the orb, a special key will be revealed which has a unique serial number stamped on it. This key will open one of the ISIS golden pyramids which are hidden in secret locations throughout the UK. Each golden pyramid contains thousands of pounds - a gold coin worth 500 and a number of silver coins worth 20 each. The designers are so confident that the code cannot be cracked that they have put up money for anyone who can do it! Sounds irresistible? It is! The ISIS is the result of years of research and development and is completely original. There are literally millions of combinations and the game promises to challenge the most astute and intellectual of minds. Once you pick one of these things up, it becomes a real obsession and you just can’t put it down until you crack the code….but that may never happen!”" Andrew Reeves (creator)And Every ISIS is unique, and handmade in England by precision engineers. It also looks and feels beautiful, and comes in a solid wooden box with high polish! So, let your Isis Adventure begin! Did you know that “”Isis”" was the Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Giver of Life ? Who knows, she might even be the giver of loadsamoney too! Isis: Approximately 6.5cm diamet -

Since all my answers were taken, I’ll say it’s one of those flying balls the Jedis train with, thus proving the ancient connections between Jedis and early mankind.
