TPO-25 - Integrated Writing Task 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 cylin

The reading states that the vessels were discovered in Iraq not possibly used as electric batteries and provides three theories for support. However, the lecturer argues against all of the author theories and states none of them are convincing.

First, the reading mentions that there was no evidence of electricity conductors near to the vessels that used to attach the batteries. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this theory by saying that the vessels were found by a local resident and not by experts; thus, it could be possible that the conductors were there but have been overlooked or thrown away.

Second, the author states that the copper cylinders found in Seleucia were used for holding scrolls, not for generating electricity. The lecturer points out that it is possible that copper cylinders found for one purpose and then adapted to another purpose; for instance, it could have been mixed with an iron jar in order to produce electricity.

Finally, although the reading states that there were no devices that replied on electricity; thus, no benefit for having them, the lecturer responds by saying that there was mild electrical power were generated from the vessels, which could be useful for many things; for example, healing. This invisible power could be used to stimulate muscle and relieve pain as it has been used today.
