After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York 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 New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a
California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a
story in the LA Times read: "California archaeologists’ findings of 200
year-old copper wire, 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 Louisiana reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Carencro, Louisiana,
Boudreaux, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely
nothing. Boudreaux has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Louisiana had
already gone "wireless".
