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, in the weeks that followed, Greek scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly thereafter, headlines in Greek newspapers read: "Greek 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, "O Phileleftheros", reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30-meters in fields near Lefkosia, Kokos Antoniou, a self-taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.
Kokos has therefore concluded that 300-years ago, Cypriots were already using mobile telephones."
Yiassou re Koko ... Epistimona!
