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 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 in his backyard in Tennant
Creek , Northern Territory, Billi Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist,
reported that he found absolutely f…-all. Billi has therefore concluded
that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
But it makes ya feel bloody proud to be Australian!
