Copper wire:
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York Scientists found
traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that
their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a
California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, A
story in the LA Times read: "California archaeologists, finding of 200 year
old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced
high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New
Yorkers"
One week later. A local newspaper in Mississippi reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Laurel, Mississippi,
Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely
nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Mississippi had
already gone wireless".
Just makes you proud to live in Mississippi don't it.
