After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, scientists dug 200 meters and the headlines in the US papers read: ' US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibers, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.'
One week later, Indian daily newspapers reported the following:
'After digging as deep as 500 meters, scientists have found absolutely nothing.
They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using Bluetooth and Wireless technology.
