It Is certainly as old as the fourteenth century B. C, It Is probably it . trophy obtained In the north by some, Egyptian warrior. r- There Is an entire absence of metal In the construction. Immediately on the axle, without springs of any kind, rests the basket, or body, of tbe chari ot, which consisted of a floor to stand on and a" semicircular guard around tbe front and about half the height of the. driver. ; It is entirely open at tbe back,, so that the combatants might leap to tbe ground and up again, as be came, nccesanry by the exigencies of action. There was no seat, and gener ally In. war chariots there was only room for tbe combatant and bis chari oteer to stand lu. Tbe pole, as In the present Instance, was usually attached to tbe middle of tbe axle, although to outward appear ances It looked a though It sprang from the front of-tbe basket At the end of the pole was tho yoke, which looked like a ram's horns. Depending from .this by leather thongs was a V shaped piece, which probably took tbo place of the modern horse collar. Probably broad bands were also fitted around tbe chest of the animals. , Besides tbebarness of each horse there were a bridle and a pair of reins somewhat In tbe same style as are In useatthe present day. These were made of leather and were ornamented with studs of Ivory' and mctaL The reins were passed through rings attached to tbo collar and were long enough to be tied around the waist of the chariot eer In case of nTs-baring to defend him self. Tbe wheels and body were usually of wood, strengthened . In places with bronze or Iron. The wheels had from four to eight spokes, and the tires were of brouze or Iron tin the present Instance ash was used), und the pins which secured the fellies were' of fossil bone..
