After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish 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 Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and

shortly after, headlines in the English newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 200 year

old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications

network a hundred years earlier than the Scots." 

 
On e week later, "The Kerrymen," a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as

30 meters in peat bog near Tralee, Paddy O'Droll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely

nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless."
