German scientists dug 50 meters down in the ground and discovered small
pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany
announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nation-wide
telephone network.
Naturally, the Russian government was not that easily impressed. They
ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down the
Russians found small pieces of glass and they announced that ancient
Russians 35,000 years ago already had a nation-wide fiber optics network.
American scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters down into the
ground, but found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the
native Americans 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.
