Assyrian Chariot

‎This picture shows an Assyrian chariot with four soldiers. This is unusual since there are normally two or three charioteers in a chariot.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
