The reading and the lecture are both about the vessels found in 1938 that is believed to be used as batteries 2200 years ago. The author of the reading feels that it is not likely that the vessels were actually used as batteries. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She believes that these vessels were used as batteries and discusses some evidences.
To begin with, the author argues that the vessels were not used as batteries, they would probably have been attached to some electricity conductors such as metal wires. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims they found something but they do not know that’s value so they through out it.
Secondly, the writer suggests the copper cylinders inside the jars look exactly like copper cylinders discovered in the ruins of Seleucia, an ancient city located nearby and this was used as a holding of sacred text. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that these vessels were used as containers first but they used it too as a battery when they found out that it could produce electric shock when filled with liquid.
Finally, the author posits that the ancient peopledid not use electric because there were no devices, thus it is useless. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is that people used because of its shock as an invisible power and healing.
