[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: lioness said: [b]Nubians from after about 400 BC used wheels for spinning pottery and as water wheels.[9] It is thought that Nubian waterwheels may have been ox-driven[10] It is also known that Nubians used horse-driven chariots imported from Egypt.[/b] Keep in mind that Nubians are the closest cousin of Egyptians and were involved in Egypt since pre-dynastic times. Limiting "Nubia" to 400 BC is probelmatic, [/QUOTE]the quote is specific to the horse drawn chariot in Nubia. For examples of other wheeled vehicles used by Nubian prior to that you need evidence [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: for Egyptians were deploying wheeled vehicles long before then. "Interestingly, the earliest representation of wheeled vehicle from Egypt (tomb of Sebeknekht at El Kab, Dynasty XIII) shows sledges, mounted on four disk wheels rather than rollers." -- Wheeled vehicles and ridden animals in the ancient Near East (1997), By M. A. Littauer, J. H. Crouwel. p14 [/QB][/QUOTE]
