After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists
\nfound traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion
\nthat their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.<\/p>\n
Not to be outdone by the British , in the weeks that followed, an
\nAmerican archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story
\npublished in the New York Times: “American archaeologists, finding traces
\nof 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had
\nan advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the
\nBritish”.<\/p>\n
One week later, Australia’s Northern Territory Times , reported the
\nfollowing: “After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant
\nCreek , Northern Territory, Lucky Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist,
\nreported that he found absolutely nothing. Lucky has therefore
\nconcluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
