One week later, Lapin Kansa, a Finnish newspaper, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in potato fields near Sodankylä, Ananias Aikio, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ananias has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago Finns were already using wireless."
