Both the reading and lecture are about clay jars which have been discovered by villagers in Iraq. Since these vessels include a copper cylinder surrounding an iron pod; hence, it has been believed that the mentioned containers were ancient electric batteries. The reading provides three reasons to refute this suggestion and then supports them. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and finds all arguments unconvincing.
First of all, the author of reading contends that using battery needs to attach to metal wires; however, any electricity conductors did not find near the vessels or the discovery location. This point is challenged by the professor. She points out that we know that clay jars were excavated and obtained by local people, so since ordinary people do not have enough knowledge or train about archaeological materials and they fail to recognize which type of material is important or not; therefore, they may have thrown some stuff in that time.
Secondly, the article declares that copper cylinders inside clay jars looked like to Seleucia's copper cylinder. Based on previous information, scientists know that Seleucia's copper cylinders were used for holding scrolls of sacred texts. Since these copper cylinders are at the same shape, so they could have had the same purpose; in the contrast, the professor claims that copper cylinders may have designed for the scrolls in the early centuries; however, their function may have changed later; consequently, people adapted to use them as producing electricity.
Finally, the reading passage states that even if we accept the aforementioned idea, a battery would have not been useful in ancient periods. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer and she poses that surprisingly leaders could use these batteries as showing their magic power because when people were touching such a clay jar, it could enter a shock to them. Meanwhile, ancient doctors may have employed the batteries as healing and treating. At the end,They could remove the pains of joints.
