The reading and the lecture are both about vessels which are copper cylinders surrounding an iron rod. The author of the reading believes that this theory about using vessels as electricity batteries is false for some reasons. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that there are some explanation which support this theory.
First of all, the author points out that if vessels were used as batteries, there should be some conductors nearby. Moreover, all vessels should be attached to the conductor, but there were no track of it. This point is challenged by the lecturer. she suggests that vessels were found by local people, so they could suppose that conductor is less interesting thing than vessels.
Secondly, the author contends that those vessels were similar to copper cylinders discovered in the ruins of Seleucia. The article establishes that it was used for holding scrolls of sacred texts, so vessels had the same purposes. The lecturer rebuts this argument. she states that can be true that original purpose of using vessels were to hold scrolls. However, people noticed that it can produce some energy, so vessels were adopted for another purpose.
Finally, the article states that it was meaningless for ancient people to make some vessels, because they did not have any devices. The lecturer, on the other hand, believes that people could use it for healing, because it is common knowledge that small amount of electricity is able to retrieve muscels.
In conclusion, I would like to say that, there are a lot of reasons to deny purpose of vessels, but all of them are able to be disproved.
