The reading and lecture discuss the use of vessels, which was discovered in Iraq. The author of the reading believes that it was not used as batteries. However, the speaker casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He says that none of those ideas are unconvincing.
First of all, the author of the reading points out that if vessels were utilized as batteries, they would likely have been attached with some other electricity, such as metal wires. This point is challenged by the speaker. He restates the fact that the vessels was excavated by local people, not by experts. There might have conductor nearby the vessels, but the local people might not concern about wires or they could overlook and throw them away.
Secondly, the author of the reading contends that the vessels could use to hold sacred texts because people also used other copper cylinders, which look like this vessels to use in the same purpose. Ancient people did not use the vessels for making electric. The speaker rebuts this idea by arguing that the reason that the author of the reading has mentioned does not make sense. Ancient people could use the vessels for different purposes. Moreover, the first batteries was born by iron rock with liquid like the vessels contained.
Finally, the author of the reading states that ancient people did not have any device that based on electricity. The speaker, on the other hand, opposes this point by suggesting that modern people use batteries to heal the pain of patients. Therefore, ancient people could also use for the same task.
In conclusion, the speaker refutes all the ideas that the author of the reading has mentioned.
