Copper Wire
Posted: 30 Oct 2013, 16:57
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, French 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 French: in the weeks that followed, American
archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet before finding traces of copper
wire. Shortly afterwards, they published an article in the New York Times
aying : "American archaeologists, having found 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 French."

A few weeks later, ‘The British Archaeological Society of Northern England’ reported
the following: "After digging down to a depth of 33 feet in the Skipton area of North
Yorkshire in 2011, Charlie Hardcastle, a self-taught local amateur archaeologist,
reported that he had found absolutely bugger all.

Charlie has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already
gone wireless."
Just makes you bloody proud to be British.
