Old Technology ... Proof

German scientists dug 50 meters down in the underground 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 they found small pieces of glass and they soon announced that the ancient Russians 35,000 years ago already had a nation-wide fibre net.

Swedish scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters down in the underground, but found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the ancient Swedes 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.
