TPO 25

The lecture and the passage are both about the use of electricity on the Ancient world, especially in recent archeological investigations in Iraq which revealed clay jays containing a copper cylinder; each one surrounded with an iron rod. The author of the article feels that these findings have no reasonable support for the use of electricity in ancient civilization. However, the professor challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that these vessels could be used as electric power in the old centuries.
 
To begin with, the author argues that no evidence of any conductors has been found in order to use the electricity. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. she claims that these vessels and cylinders are initially fouds by local people, not archeologist. She skepticizes that every element may remain without any change. She suggests that might have some conductors which archeologist did not discover.
 
Secondly, the writer suggests that there is no unique historical finding since alike cooper cylinders had been discovered in another ancient city named Seleucia. The author supports this idea that cooper cylinders were used to hold scrolls and sacred texts, not for electric power generating, in ancient Seleucia. On the other hand, the lecturer defends the idea of electricity-generating because the archeologists discovered iron rods surrounding the clay jays. She adds that it is possible to use the exact cylinder in two cities but rather for two deferent purposes.
 
Finally, the author posits that these facilities should be used in order to a concrete practical way while there is no evidence of any devices which demands electricity. In contrast, the lecturer questions this idea by simple examples of possible uses of electric power. These examples include medical uses and defending uses of electricity. In ancient medicine, for instance, the physician used a mild shock, called The Magic, to heal or manage pain.
