Question

Where was the Kite Invented?

Answer 1

China

Answer 2

Hi,

It would seem that the Chinese lay claim to inventing pretty much everything - shame they didn't invent the camera 500years ago, at least then they would have the proof!

Anyway, kites - not invented by the Chinese.  Kites appear in many cultures throughout recent history - from South America through Africa and many places in Asia, so no one can claim to have invented it.

I guess the Chinese will have to be happy with paper, printing, pasta et al......

Answer 3

I think i heard last nite on the opening ceremonies of the olympics that  the kite was invented in China..
