Telephone networks...AFTER HAVING DUG TO A DEPTH OF 10 METERS LAST YEAR, SCOTTISH 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 Scots, in the weeks that followed, ENGLISH scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines
in the UK newspapers read: "ENGLISH 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 Scots."
One week later, "The Kerryman" a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near
Tralee , Paddy O'Droll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.
Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless."
