    Many hypotheses have been put forth as to what they are used for but most archaeologist don’t think it was used for gloves.

    But most archaeologists think the objects were probably used in magical rituals. The dodecahedrons have no markings indicating how they were used, as might be expected for measuring instruments, and they all have different weights and sizes, ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 inches (4 to 11 centimeters) across.

    This article is from this year. The youtube video is from 2014.
