In this set of material, the passage and the lecture offer two opposing points of view about the exploitation of the vessels founded in Iraq. While the passage states that these vessels did not use in order to obtain electricity and provides three reasons of support, the lecture refutes these three shreds of evidence and remarks that these shreds of evidence are not convincing.
First of all, the passage asserts that due to the vessels did not attach to some electrical conductors like metal wires, there is no evidence that they were not used as a battery. On the other hand, the lecture points out the fact that these vessels were found by local people who were not expert in archeology to determines that there may be some attachments that were eliminated or destroyed unconsciously by locals.
In addition, the article declares that these vessels are similar to copper cylinders discovered in the ruins of Seleucia. according to the fact that these cylinders were used to hold scrolls of sacred texts, they may have the same utilization. The lecture contradicts this remark by arguing that although the similarity is true, it does not prove the utilization of the vessels, she states that the original utilization of these vessels may be holding the sacred texts but it may change during the time.
Finally, the author claims that ancient people had no devices that replied to electricity. The speaker refutes this saying by pointing out that the battery could have been used in healing to reduce pain and showing magical actions by taking advantage of invisible power in ancient time.
