In 1938 an archaeologist in Iraq acquired a set of clay jars that had been excavated two years earlier by villagers constructing a railroad line The vessel was about 2 200 years old Each clay jay contained a copper cylinder surrounding an iron rod The

The reading states that there are several reasons that the archaeologist proposed that vessels were ancient electric batteries and even demonstrated that they can produce a small electric current when filled with some liquid, but it is not likely that the vessels were used as batteries. On the other hand, the lecturer finds all the reasons mentioned by the reading dubious and refutes them all by specific details.
First, the reading states that if the vessels were used as batteries, they would probably have been attached to some electricity conductor such as metal wires, but there is no evidence to prove this idea. On the contrary, the professor mentioned the fact that the wires were invented by local people, not archaeologists, so they could use another material.
Furthermore, the author argues that no scrolls were found inside the jars can be explained by the fact that the scrolls simply disintegrated over the centuries. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that we believe people in the past used copper cylinders for one purpose, but they could use them for another reason that is not more ap for us until now.
Finally, the reading passage holds the view that people in the past had no devices that relied on electricity. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that batteries could use for healing, and nowadays everyone can say they have magical power.
