Flying of the Pterosaurs
Both the author and the lecturer discuss the possibility of the use of burning mirrors by ancient Greeks. The passage claims that they did not utilize this weapon. The professor, on the other hand, completely rejects whatever mentioned in the reading by citing three reasons.
First, both the author and the professor talk about the complexity of the burning mirror. According to the passage, the ancient Greeks were not technologically improved enough to make this complex device. The lecturer, nevertheless, rejects the author's view and illustrates the idea that this weapon was not a complex and intricate object and it was made from the assembly of many small mirrors. Thus, they could construct that without any problems.
Second of all, both the reading and the lecturer discuss the time which the burning mirror needs to set the ships on fire. The author argues that it takes ten minutes to sets an object on fire. The professor validates the idea emphasizing that they should not need to set the wood on the object. There was material in their ships that fired as fast as wood did, so the burning mirror could set this particular object on fire as soon as possible.
Eventually, the passage and the lecturer address the subject of similarity of the burning mirror to a weapon that the Greeks had. The passage goes on to mentions that the burning mirror does not seem like on a weapon that the Greeks already had. In contrast, the professor points out that Roman soldiers were not familiar with this weapon, so they surprised when the Greeks soldier utilized this weapon.
