Scotty Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Norwegian 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 Norwegians, in the weeks that followed, Swedish scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after headlines in the Dagens Nyheter newspapers read: "Swedish 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 Norwegians." One week later, Kainuun Sanomat, a Finnish newspaper, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in potato fields near Ristijärvi, Pekka Heikkinen, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Pekka has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago Finns were already using wireless." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
