After digging to a depth of 100 metres, Russian scientists discovered traces of copper wiring 1000 years old, and concluded their ancestors had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
Not to be outdone, the Americans dug down 200 metres and found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, concluding their ancestors already had hi-tech telephone systems in operation 1000 years earlier than the Russians.
A week later, a 500m dig in China uncovered absolutely nothing. From this, the Chinese concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already onto mobile phones.
