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 British, in the weeks that followed, an American Archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story was 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, Australia's Northern Territory Times, reported the following; "After digging as deep as 30 feet deep in his back yard in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory aboriginal, Billi Bunji a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger-all. Billi concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone "WIRELESS".
Makes me feel so bloody proud to be an Australian.
