5000 Years Ago
After digging to a depth of 100 meters near Moscow last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back to 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone notwork 1000 years ago.
Not to be outdone, American scientists dug 200 meters near the Mojave Desert and headlines in the US papers read: 'US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optic fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.
One week later, Indian newspapers reported: 'After digging as deep as 500 meters in the outskirts of Koderma in
Jharkhand, Indian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using mobile phones and wireless communication.'
