After having dug to a depth of 1000 meters last year, Scottish
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years and came
to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network
more than 1000 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, Australian
scientist dug to a depth of 2000 meters and shortly after headlines in
the Australian newspapers read:
"Australian archaeologists have found traces of 2000 year copper wire and
have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech
communications network a thousand years earlier than the Scots."

One week later, New Zealand newspapers reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 5000 meters in West Auckland New Zealand, scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have therefore concluded that 5000 years ago New Zealand inhabitants were already using wireless technology."

1000 years = 1km down. 2000 years = 2km down. 5000 years = 5km down. ???????? What was the author of this joke smoking or did they just have a very loose grasp on basic archeology?
