After having dug to a depth of 20 meters last year, English
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back over 200
years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors
already had a telephone network 200 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the English, in the weeks that
followed, American scientists dug to a depth of 30 meters,
and shortly after, headlines in the newspapers read:
'American archaeologists have found traces of 300 year
old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors
already had an advanced high-tech communications network a
hundred years earlier than the English.'
One week later, 'Newsday' Trinidad 's leading
newspaper, reported the following: 'After digging as
deep as 40 meters by The Light House in Port of Spain , Roger
Arnold Jacobs , a self taught archaeologist, reported that
he found absolutely nothing. Jacobs has therefore concluded
that 400 years ago Trinidad had already gone wireless'.
