Copper Wire

Post by creeky »

COPPER WIRE



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 nothing. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."



Just makes you bloody proud to be Australian!!! [smilie=battingeyes.gif] :P [smilie=battingeyes.gif] :P [smilie=battingeyes.gif]
