There was an old joke about people trying to compare their ancestors' prowess: At the EU council, the Italian representatives come one day and say: we have definitive proof that Romans were the most advanced civilization that ever lived! We have dug 20 meters under the current soil level and found copper, obvious proof that they had mastered DSL internet! Next year, the same forum, a Frenchman comes up and declares: we have discovered evidence showing conclusively that the Galls had the most advanced early culture! We dug for 30 meters and found glass, so they had already mastered fiber glass-based internet! One more year afterwards, the Romanian representative comes out and explains: previous claims by my colleagues have been investigated and found false. It was in fact the Dacians that the most advanced internet of the ancient world: we have dug for 20 meters, 30 meters, even 40 meters, and everywhere found nothing at all - uncontroversial proof that they had already mastered wireless communication!
