An Italian, an Egyptian and a Greek...

An Italian, an Egyptian and a Greek...

...were fighting over whose ancestors had the most advanced civilization.

The Romans were the most advanced said the Italian. And I'm going to prove it to you. Here's a photograph
from a recent excavation site under the Colloseum. What do you see?

The Egyptian and the Greek after studying the picture:

-A wire.

-Exactly. Do you know what that means? Said the Italian.

-No, came the reply.

-It means that the Ancient Romans had invented the telegraph!

-That's nothing said the Egyptian. Here's a photograph from a recent excavation site under the Great Pyramid of Gyza. What do you see?

The Italian and the Greek after studying the picture:

-Two wires.

-Exactly. Do you know what that means? Said the Egyptian.

-No, came the reply.

-It means that the Ancient Egyptians had invented the telephone!

-Meh, that's nothing, said the Greek. Here's a photograph from a recent excavation site under the Parthenon. What do you see?

-The Egyptian and the Italian study the picture. After looking hard, and examining all the fine details they say perplexed:

-Nothing!

-Exactly. Do you know what that means? Said the Greek.

-No, came the reply.

-It means that the Ancient Greeks had invented the cellphone!
