Last January the /New Orleans Times Picayune/ reported that a Cajun amateur archeologist having dug to a depth of 10 meters 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 Cajuns, in the weeks that followed, Texas scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly after, headlines in the /Dallas Morning News/ read: ' Texas 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 Cajuns.'

One week later, /The Grant County Press,/ reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 meters in fields near Cabins, WV, Bubba Williams, a self-taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago in West Virginia they were already using wireless.'

I've read it with copper wires, optic fibers and then wireless. For optic fibers they found some glass chips, I guess.

As a scientist who is often frustrated by the conclusions that other scientists make . . . I gotta luv it.
