Last January the New Orleans Times Picayune reported that a Cajun amateur archeologist having dug to a depth of 10-meters found pieces 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, Texan 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 Daily Oklahoman reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30-meters in wheat fields near Watonga, Bubba Williams, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300-years ago Okies were already using wireless.
