TPO-30
The reading and the lecture are both about the reasons of the story of the burning mirror that is just a myth. Greeks did not built these devices. The lecturer casts doubts on the main points made in the reading passage by providing there reasons.
First of all, according to the reading, the ancient Greeks were not technologically advanced to built a burning mirror. Because of the poor technology they were unable to design one. However, the lecturer dispute this point. He says that Greek mathematicians had such knowledge to create parabolic shapes, they knew the formula. So, this prove their capabilities to create one.
Secondly, the reading states that the burning mirror would have taken a long hour to set the boat on fire because the ships were made from wood. Therefor, take more hours to burn the ship. Nevertheless, the professor refutes this argument. He argue that Romans used different materials to built their ships one of them was peach, which can catch the fire in seconds. As a result, the ship would burn right away.
Lastly, the reading claims that flaming arrows were not an development that Greeks had in weapons. Because was common for them to use flaming arrows. They had no reason to build a weapon like flame arrow. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that people used the flame arrows all the time and it would had been not a surprise for them to see flamed arrows from a long distance while burning the ships.
In conclusion, the three main points made by the reading are effectively challenged by the lecturer.
