Florida technology
Last January the /New Orleans Times Picayune/ reported that a Cajun amateur archeologist having dug to a depth of 10 meters 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 Cajuns, in the weeks that followed, Texas scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly after, headlines in the /Dallas Morning News/ read: ' Texas archaeologists have found traces of 200-year old copper wire, and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network one hundred years earlier than the Cajuns.'
One week later, /The News and Observer/ reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 meters in fields near Havana, FL, Bubba Williams, a self-taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago in Florida they were already using wireless.'
