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 f--k all. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years
ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
Just makes you bloody proud to be Australian.
