Chariotry in ancient Egypt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In ancient Egyptian society chariotry stood as an independent unit in the King’s military force. Chariots are thought to have been first used as a weapon in Egypt by the Hyksos[1] in the 16th century BC. The Egyptians then developed their own chariot design.
