Kite History and Flying Kites - By: karl donald, 2009-07-11

In Egypt there are hieroglyphics carved some 2,500 years ago that tells the story of a Pharaoh and a kite. It seems that the Pharaoh had heard many things about his wily Assyrian vizier, Ahikar, and he wanted to test the man's cunning for himself. He ordered Ahikar to build a palace for him midway between heaven and earth. The punishment for failure would be banishment or death.
