Copper Wire

Copper wire


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 Cavalier Chronical, a local newspaper in
North Dakota, reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near
Langdon, North Dakota, Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, North Dakota had already gone wireless.

copper wire

And even after 300 years they could still improve wireless services.
