History of Telecommunication After having dug to a depth of 10 feet 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 by the Italian's, in the weeks that followed, a Chinese archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet,and shortly after, a story in the China Daily read: 'Chinese archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Italian's. One week later, the Punjab Times, a local newspaper in India, reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Amritsar , in the Indian state of Punjab, Dugdeep Singh, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Dugdeep has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, India had already gone wireless.
