After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York Scientist found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than a hundred years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 feet and shortly thereafter, headlines in the LA Times read: 'California 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 that the New Yorkers.'
One week later, 'The Daily Advertiser', a local newspaper in Lafayette reported the following:
'After digging as deep as 30 feet in rice fields near Forked Island, Boudreaux, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Boudreaux has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Louisiana had already gone wireless.'
