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 article discusses a fascinating topic pertaining to discovery of clay jars which were not used to produce electricity and provides three reasons of supports. However, the professor explain that the factors given in the reading are not convincing and opposes each of the author's reasons.

First the reading passage discusses that copper cylinder which was found in jar, At first glance,it was thought to be used as electrical batteries, but this notion was crossed out when the archaeologist concurred that even it could have been, they needed to electrical wire which enable to connect the batteries. Moreover, there was none at that times. In contrary, the professor provides information that indeed jar was found by local residents not by archaeologist, It is crucial to consider that there was possibility that maybe local people could have not recognized all useful items and consequently, they threw away some essential tools. Clearly, a disparity exists between the article and the evidence exhibited by the professor. As a result, we can safely assume that copper cylinder might have been used for generating electricity if the jars had been found by archaeologist so they might have been identified the wires if present.

Second, the reading pushed fort the idea, the copper cylinder which were found is same one with the one that found close to the Selenue, and it was used to hold the sacred text. Nevertheless, the professor contends that by explaining it is originally used to hold textures, but it does not prove that it cannot be used in order to generate electricity. Consequently, we can argue that the claim made in the reading is substantiated.

Finally, the reading posits that using batteries or electricity has no point at all. The professor refutes this point by explaining that it may be used healing processes by ancient doctors. We also learn that it can relieve pain in muscle in which electricity is still used to diminish the pains in muscles.

In summary, while both the reading and the lecture provide interesting information with regard to vessel and copper cylinder, a significant amount of evidence support that the listening has more legitimate and convincing reasons. Therefore, the article fails to justify the claim toward the professor.
