Advanced Technologies in History

After having dug to a depth of 100 metres last year, Scottish
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years and came
to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network
more than 1000 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
scientists dug to a depth of 200 metres and shortly after headlines in
the newspapers read; English archaeologists have found traces of 2000
year old fibre-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors
already had an advanced high-tech digital communications network a
thousand years earlier than the Scots.

One week later, Irish newspapers reported the following:

After digging as deep as 500 metres in Cork, Irish scientists have
found absolutely nothing. They, therefore, have concluded that 5,000
years ago, Ireland inhabitants were already using wireless technology.
