TPO 25

The author believes that although ancient vessels found in Iraq can produce electricity in a condition, they were probably not batteries. The lecturer, however, has the opposite point of view. She explains why the author is not right about his points, and that his points are not adequate and convincing.

First, the author states that no electricity conductors, such as metal wires, were found near the vessels. On the contrary, the lecturer refutes this point asserting that since local people excavated the vessels, they could have neglected a possible conductor because of lack of knowledge in excavation.

Second, the author claims that similar vessels were found in a nearby site, which were used for holding scrolls of text, thereby, these vessels were probably used for the same purpose. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes the author's opinion by arguing that the vessels could be originaly made for holding scrolls, but later were adopted to produce electricity after ancient people discovered their potential to produce electricity

Finally, the author suggests that batteries were useless to ancient people providing that they had no electricity powered devices. In contrast, the lecturer counters the author proposing that there are possible merits of battery for ancient people. In this regard, they might have used batteries to display magical powers, and cure ache and pain.
