Really?!???

How could you believe that the ounces of force required to lift massive could be generated by a kite?

The closest thing I ever said to this is that it is "apparent" that they used sails in the boat pits to reset the EMPTY cliff face counterweights to which they point. Sails generate tons of force and the empty counterweights were very light. These pits are not only shaped to the task and in the perfect location for the tedium of resetting the counterweights but they catch the wind whipping on the backside of the pyramid to maximize even the slightest breeze. This is probably why they buried "Overseers of Boats" at Giza rather than "overseers of stone draggers". It is very important to go with the actual EVIDENCE and logic rather than dredging up belief from the later times.

And it still falls on deaf Egyptologists.
