Petros the Cypriot Archaeologist

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Italian 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 Italians, in the weeks that followed, Turkish scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly thereafter, headlines in Turkish newspapers read: "Turkish archaeologists have found traces of 200-year old copper wire, and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network one hundred years earlier than the Italians."

One week later, a Cyprus newspaper, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30-meters in fields near Limassol , Petros Petropoulos, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Petros has therefore concluded that 300-years ago, Cypriots were already using wireless.

"Yassou, Petros!

Not to be outdone by either the Italians, Turks or Cypriots, an Irishman dug down to a depth of 150 metres, ( those boys really know how to dig) and found NOTHING.

"Ah" he said, "Sure if there was anything of value there at all, the Jews would have had it !"
