NEWS RELEASE

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters near Athens in November 2007, scientists found traces of copper wire dating back to a 100 years, and they came to a conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters near Thessaloniki and, shortly after, announced in the newspapers that they found traces of copper wire dating back to 200 years, concluding that Macedonians already had an advanced high-tech communications network a 100 years earlier than the Athenians.

A week later, newspapers on the island of Chios reported that after digging as deep as 30 meters near the Mastichochoria, Georgios Pandonopoulos, a self-taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.  His conclusion was that over 300 years ago, Chios had already gone with wireless communications.
