Reading and lecture discusses about whether the theory of weapon burning mirror fire is true or false.
Reading suggests that theory was myth, While professor thinks that reasons set forth in reading are
unconvincing.
First, reading points out that ancient Greeks were not very intelligent to figure out
the method to focus sunlight and cause fire. Furthermore, large copper sheets were
not available at that time to create this weapon. The professor casts doubt on statment made in lecture.
She says that large copper sheet was not created from single sheet, but they
arranged dozens of small sheets in parabolic shape. In addition, she also points
out that Greeks were clever to perform that fine task.
Second, reading argues that in order to cause fire, Roman ship must be static
and required ten minutes to burn wooden ship. Furthermore, it states that this burning
weapon use is impractical as this procedure takes time. However, profressor challenges this point. She thinks that
burning mirror can create fire in ship quickly due to water proof material called pinch sprayed
on the wooden ship. In addition, she brings fact all these procedures can happen with moving ship.
As a result, burning mirror was served as efficient weapon.
Thirdly, reading states there was no valid reason for Greeks to make burning mirror, because they were
expert in shooing burning arrow to destroy enemies from far distance. In contrast, professor thinks that
attacking soldiers can easily spot these burning arrows, so they are not logical in defense. Furthermore, she adds
that burning mirror can not be seen by human, thus burning mirror can set on fire without
even noticing. Hence, professor successfully challenged statements made in reading.
