    Archaeological find in Georgia

    Archaeological find in Georgia

    After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York 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 New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: ' California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'

    One week later, The Atlanta Journal, a local newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia, reported the following: After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture near Stone Mountain, Ga, Bubba Mitchell, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Georgia had already gone wireless.

    Thank God for Bubba. Who said Georgians were hicks?

    And the lack of fossilized footprints proves they had already figured out flight.

    The lack of communications technology from lower levels proves that men used to be telepathic and didn't need such devices. For some reason we lost the ability later.
