After digging to a depth of 1,000 metres last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network 1,000 years ago. So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 2,000 metres and headlines in the U.S. papers read: “U.S. scientists have found traces of 2,000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1,000 years earlier than the Russians.” One week later, the Israeli newspapers reported the following: “After digging as deep as 5,000 metres, Israeli scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5,000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology.” see also   Engineering,  History,  Nationality  &  Telephone   Sections How To Use The New 1940 Dial Telephone Telephone of Tomorrow Church Dinner 59 Chev Boat Urgent World War I Message An Iceberg Floated Into Town Walk Sign Timing Family Hands Chocolate Bed Crocodile Floor Texas 911 Walk Sign Ending Mower Handle Extender Dentist Waiting Room
