Chariots

Chariots are two-wheeled vehicles typically pulled by horses, used in ancient times for transportation, warfare, and racing. Originating around 2000 BC in places like Mesopotamia and Egypt, chariots played a crucial role in military tactics and were symbols of status and power. They were lightweight, allowing for speed and maneuverability. Chariots featured a platform where a driver and sometimes an archer would ride. Their significance declined with the rise of cavalry and advances in warfare technology, but they remain iconic in history, often associated with ancient civilizations and heroic narratives.
