After
having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of New York City ,
New York scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 100 years.
They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a
telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not
to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a Los Angeles
, California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere
just outside Oceanside . Shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: "
California archaeologists report a finding of 200 year old copper
cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced
high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New
Yorkers." One
week later, a local newspaper in Houston , Texas reported the
following: "After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture near
the community of Sugarland, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist,
reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore
concluded that 300 years ago, Texas had already gone wireless".
