Excavations

[Hook Dem]

After having dug to a depth of 1,000 meters last year, French scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back
1,000 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors had a
telephone network all those centuries ago..

Not to be outdone by the French, English scientists dug to a depth of
2,000 meters and shortly after headlines in the U. K. newspapers read:
"English archaeologists have found traces of 2,000-year-old fiber-optic
cable and have concluded that their ancestors had an advanced high-tech
digital communications network a thousand years earlier than the French."

One week later, Israeli Newspapers reported the following: "After digging
as deep as 5,000 meters in a Jerusalem marketplace, scientists had found
absolutely nothing. They, therefore, concluded that, 5,000 years ago Jews
were already using wireless technology.
