UK Psychics Report - Did ancient Egyptians use kite power to build pyramids?

UK Psychics Report - Did ancient Egyptians use kite power to build pyramids?: "DID EGYPTIANS USE KITE POWER TO BUILD PYRAMIDS?


Using kite power to lift an obelisk PALMDALE, California
When people think about the building of the Egyptian pyramids, they probably have a mental image of thousands of slaves laboriously rolling massive stone blocks into place with logs and levers. But one Caltech aeronautics professor has set out to demonstrate that the task could have been accomplished by several people using a kite to move the heavy stones.
On June 23, Mory Gharib and his team raised a 6,900-pound (3132.6 kg), 15-foot (3.0 m) obelisk into vertical position in the desert near Palmdale by using only a kite, a pulley system, and a support frame. Although the blustery winds were gusting up to 22 miles (35.4 km) per hour, the team set the obelisk upright on their second attempt."
