The article states that an archaeologist proposed that ancient clay jars and copper cylinders inside them were ancient electric batteries and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that argument in article is not convincing and refute each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that if the vessels were used as batteries,they would probably have been attached to some electricity conductors. The professor refutes this point by saying that this vessels discovered by local people. She states that this people could thrown away that conductors or assumed that they were useless.
Second, the article posits that the copper cylinders exactly like copper cylinders discovered in a nearby site. However, the professor says that it is correct that the vessels are very similar but it doesn't prove anything. According to the professor, at first this cylinders used for original purpose like what the article says but after that they may be used for another use such as electrical batteries.
Third, the article says that ancient people couldn't do anything with electricity and it was useless for them because they had no devices that replied on electricity. The professor opposes this point by explaining that the ancient people could electricity for many purposes. We also learn that the ancient people could use electricity for example for shocking or for magic convincing and even for healing means. They could use batteries for medical purposes.
