COPPER WIRE
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than
150 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American
archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story
published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces
of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already
had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the
British".
One week later, the state’s Dept of Minerals and Energy in Western
Australia, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Western Australia’s Pilbara region,
Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found
absolutely bugger all. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago,
Australia had already gone wireless."
Just makes you bloody proud to be Australian.
