The lecturer states that, although it is seemingly acceptable that the vessels which were excavated in Iraq were unlikely to be used as electric batteries, the three specific evidence provided by the reading passage is not convincing, which suffers from several flaws on various aspects, as is presented below.
The first problem with the theory of these vessels presented in the text is that they were excavated by local people. Therefore, there might be some other materials near the vessels which were not submitted to the archaeologist, since they might be ignored or thrown away by local villagers by mistake. As a result, it is not persuasive to claim in the text that there was any electricity conductor located near the vessels.
Another flaw concerns the use of the copper cylinders. The lecturer points out that the original use of the copper cylinders was to hold scrolls of sacred texts as the text indicates, but there might be some other people who discovered that the copper cylinders could be adapted to other purpose, such as generating electricity when they were filled with liquid. On the contrary, the evidence presented in the text is questionable.
Furthermore, although it is not so clear that in which situation the ancient people could use electricity generated by the vessels as is stated in the text, the lecturer mentions several possible applications of the vessels. She contends that they could generate some shock which could be considered as a kind of invisible power or a magic power. Also, they could be used for healing by doctors because the electricity generated by them could stimulate muscles and release pains.
