Default Ancient Telecoms

French scientists after having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors had a telephone network more than 200 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the French: in the weeks that followed, American archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet before finding traces of copper wire. Shortly afterwards, they published an article in the New York Times saying : "American archaeologists, having found 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 French.”

A few weeks later, 'The British Archaeological Society of Northern England' reported the following: "After digging down to a depth of 33 feet in the Skipton, North Yorkshire, British archaeologists had found absolutely nothing. It is therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless.
