[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] 5th Dynasty Old Kingdom wheels on a scaffold. [IMG]http://egyptologist.org/discus/messages/41/6068.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://egyptologist.org/discus/messages/11/5592.jpg[/IMG] A fuller view of the wheeled device depicted in Kaemheset's tomb appears to be a builder's scaffold rather than a war machine. Note the men on it have contractor's tools not weapons. Also nothing going on on the four floors inside the building remotely suggest a siege is happening, [/QUOTE]you would think the peasanst would have had carts used to move moderate loads, sacks of grain, crops, etc. but they seem not to be in the art, just this ladder thing, chariots and zarahan said coffin wheels. Need to see if in some other piece of Egyptian art there's a mobile seige tower with wheels as written about [/QB][/QUOTE]
