Trip Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 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, finding traces 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, the Livingston Enterprise, a local newspaper in Montana, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture near his ranch in Park County, Montana, Hank Jacobs, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Dean has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Montana had already gone wireless." Who said Cowboys were slow....? Link to comment
