I think the Chinese invented kites and rockets. The Greeks...two flying
men, at least in legend. Also the spear and arrow, as in bow and arrow
(not Wolfgang's model). The Romans....not sure. Possibly great balls
of fire launched by catapult. Egyptians...I'd put it a tie with an
Indonesian tribe for the poisoned dart. Egyptians also had a hand in
the flying carpet along with the Mesopotamian Arabs. <br>
<br>
Geez, Egyptians were real early team builders, eh?<br>
