Communication over the ages.

[niko]

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Italian 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 Italians, in the weeks that followed, Turkish

scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly thereafter, headlines in

Turkish newspapers read: "Turkish archaeologists have found traces of

200-year old copper wire, and have concluded that their ancestors already

had an advanced high-tech communications network one hundred years earlier

than the Italians."



One week later, "The Kathimerni", a Greek newspaper, reported the

following: "After digging as deep as 30-meters in fields near Athens,

Petros Petropoulos, a self-taught archeologist, reported that he found

absolutely nothing. Petros has therefore concluded that 300-years ago,

Greeks were already using wireless."
