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 thereafter, 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, a member of Newfoundland's Dept. of Mines and Resources
reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in Corner Brook,
Newfoundland - Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he
found absolutely nothing. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago,
Canada had already gone wireless."
