雅思阅读辅导：埃及人利用风筝

发布时间：2016-02-26 编辑：查字典英语网小编

　　阅读段落

　　Others feel there is more of a case for the theory. Harnessing the wind would not have been a problem for accomplished sailors like the Egyptians. And they are known to have used wooden pulleys, which could have been made strong enough to bear the weight of massive blocks of stone. In addition, there is some physical evidence that the ancient Egyptians were interested in flight. A wooden artifact found on the step pyramid at Saqqara looks uncannily like a modern glider. Although it dates from several hundred years after the building of the pyramids, its sophistication suggests that the Egyptians might have been developing ideas of flight for a long time. And other ancient civilizations certainly knew about kites; as early as 1250 B.C., the Chinese were using them to deliver messages and dump flaming debris on their foes.
