Reading and lecture are both about the purpose of some ancient vessels, which were discovered in Irak in 1938. On the one hand, the writer says that their scope is not related to any electrical usage. On the other hand, the lecturer states doubts on the claims made by the author, underlining that his proves are some inaccurate when compared to real facts.
First, the jars were discovered by local people, not by archaeologists. The author considers that the vessels were not used as batteries because there was not any viable evidence about the existence of electricity conductors. However, speaker refutes this argument because the jars were found by ordinary individuals, who had no special training in managing antiquities, and therefore there is a big chance that they throw away some parts which seemed to be irrelevant. In other words, they might have discovered some metal wires and destroyed them aftermath. This is a strong counter-point to the writer's point of view.
Second, it is true that the main purpose of pots was to preserve sacred text, as the authors sustains. He compares them with other copper cylinders that were found in a nearby location, specifying that those jars contained paper scrolls. Anyway, the lecturer states that even though the jars were initially used for storing texts, some ancient people might have observed that these jars can produce electricity when making contact with metal wires or various liquids. Thus, this argument is denying the passage.
Third, ancient individuals could have used electricity different from how it is used today. The writer says it was impossible for them to use batteries because they have not any specific device. Conversely, the lecturer infringes this, and she says that people could have used it for magic tricks. Moreover, electricity has healing properties, so ancients could have take advantages from these point of view. For instance, when electricity stimulates the muscles, pain is released. This third point gainsays the passage as well. To summarize, the author and the lecturer are in total disagreement regarding this topic.
