war chariots

War chariots were ancient vehicles used in battle, typically pulled by horses. They provided a mobile platform for archers or spearmen, allowing them to strike from a distance while quickly maneuvering across the battlefield. Chariots were often equipped with spiked wheels or reinforced to ram enemy lines. They played a significant role in various ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Hittites, and Mongols, offering speed and tactical advantage. With advancements in military tactics and technology, chariots eventually became less common, giving way to infantry and cavalry as primary forces in warfare.
