The reading and the lecture are both about a clay jar that was found in 1938 believed to use as a battery for 2200 years ago. The author of the reading feels that it is not uses as a battery. However, this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She is of the opinion that a jar is used as a battery.
To begin with, the author argues that it is not used as a battery, because there are no metal wires.However, this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that the vessels are used as a battery. Additionally, she says that the jars were found by the local people not the archaeologist. Hence, there might be metal wires found but the people thought it was not important so they might threw them away.
Secondly, the writer suggests that this jar is used as a hold scroll. In the article, it is said that, the copper cylinder looks like a jar found in Seleucia known as a holder of sacred text.The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that they use it holding scroll at the beginning, she elaborated this by bring up the point that, they began using it as battery, when they found out that the copper rod can be used for making electricity.
Finally, the author posits that there was no device that needed a battery before. Hence, it was useless for them. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is it was used as invisible power or magic. He notes that this was used as healing method as there was a tingling sensation when you put electricity is felt on our body.
