clay
Both the reading and the lecture are about the correct function of a set of clay jars discovered in Iraq in the past. In this vein, the reading passage, through presenting three major reasons, claims that it is not likely that these vessels were used as electric batteries. The professor, on the other hand, refutes all of the evidence stated by the text, mentioning that the argument stated by the reading is not convincing, and they are not well presented.
First of all, the author brings up the idea that since the vessels did not attach to any electrical conductors like metal wires, they were not used as electric batteries. Nonetheless, the lecturer posits this point by saying that these vessels were discovered by local people not archeologists. It is possible that they might have found other materials near jars in that area, but, since they were not trained as archeologists, they may not have recognized them as important objects. Maybe those objects did not seem interesting to them, and they threw away them.
Secondly, the writer holds the view that the copper cylinders inside the jars were similar to copper cylinders found in Seleucia, representing that they were used for holding scrolls not as batteries. The speaker, in contrast, avers that although they looked alike, this fact does not prove any things. She explains that it is possible that those copper cylinders were designed to preserve scrolls, but some ancient investors discovered later that they can fill the jars with liquid and use them as batteries by producing electricity. In fact, that time was the first time that human being was able to produce electricity. She further highlights that, at the first, people made and used the jars for one purpose, but they were adapted for another purpose later.
Thirdly, the essay underlines the fact that ancient people had no devices that replied on electricity, and these batteries were useless to them. Conversely, the professor argues this assertion and states that these batteries produced a kind of shock when a person touched them. She explains that this fact can be interpreted that these devices can produce invisible power, and the owners of them could convince people that they had magical power. Moreover, people used them for healing because by producing electricity current, they could relieve pains, and also doctors used those batteries for the same purpose
