Indigenous Ingenuity

February 6, 2008 by VolkhardG Leave a Comment

After having dug to a depth of 50 feet last year, Mexican 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 Mexicans, in the weeks that followed, Texans scientists dug to a depth of 75 feet, and shortly after, headlines in the Houston newspapers read: ” Texas archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Mexicans.”

One week later, “Navajo Nation Council”, in its Window Rock, Navajo times newsletter reported the following:

“After digging as deep as 90 feet in wash beds near Kayenta, Elmer Chee, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.

Chee has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Natives had already gone wireless.” Ayyyyyyyye.
(Sorry, do not know who to thank for this, probably received it in a forwarded email)
