Petros the Archaeologist After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Italian scientistsfound traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to theconclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network morethan 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the Italians, in the weeks that followed, Turkishscientists dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly thereafter, headlines inTurkish newspaper read: "Turkish archaeologists have found traces of 200year old copper wire, and have concluded that their ancestors alreadyhad an advanced high-tech communications network one hundred yearsearlier than the Italians". One week later, "The Kathimerni", a Greek newspaper, reported thefollowing: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in fields near Athens,Petros Petropoulos, a self-taught archeologist, reported that he foundabsolutely nothing. Petros has therefore concluded that 300-years ago,Greeks were already using wireless". Yassou, Petros!
