National Museum and Casa del Alabada Museum Quito/Ecuador

In 2013 my wife an I went to Ecuador for a 3 week trip. My wife's childgood dream was to visit the Galapagos Islands and it's incredible wildlife. I wanted to see Pater Crespi's collection of unusual and controversial finds in Cuenca, Ecuador. We also wanted to visit the archeological site of Ingapirca near Cuenca. That was the plan. Unfortunately plans do not always pan out the way they supossed to. After a few days in the capital Quito and a few days on the Amazon river we went on to the Galapagos Islands. .

What in the world is this? This weird object looks like it was made out of stainless steel. It looks to me almost like a car's tailpipe... I'm open to suggestions...

Update: I got very interesting from 
Holger Isenberg. He writes:
"This object could be a copy of a Resonance-Jet engine. Those jets are available with uncontrolled valves and without valves. Please see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_jet
Exactly this kind of jet would be built by engineers who crash landed on a planet and whose equipment was destroyed. They would still have their knowledge, of course..."
This little figurine reminds me on the main carving on the sungate in Tiahuanacu.
Please have a look at the very technical looking helmet and the rather small body-type. These two traits can be seen throughout the "gods" of South America.
Deformed skulls are pretty common in Bolivie and Peru. Wanted the priests of the ancient people look there "gods" in the olden days?
But not only skull deformations are on display. Those skulls you see here had skillfull operations performed on them! The wounds show signs of scaring. That means that the patient survived the operation. Very similar skulls can be found in Egypt and other parts of Africa.
Weird!

Look at this depiction of a wheel. Please compare the link to the famous "Mechanism of Antikythera" from Greece. I will be writing more about the Anthikythera Mechanism on here in the future.
