150 YEAR OLD TELEPHONE SYSTEM FOUND

 

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 saying : "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 amateur archaeologist, reported that he had found absolutely bugger all.

Charlie has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless."

 

Makes you proud to be British.
