Chariots with cases for Bow and Arrows

Chariots with cases for Bow and Arrows

‎
Egyptian war chariots were lighter than their Assyrian counterparts. Designed for speed, maneuverability, and convenience, they were usually made of wood with a standing platform made of interlaced bands of leather to mitigate the jolting. They incorporated forward-facing cases for arrows and a bow, as in this image, and rearward-facing cases for spears. Wheels featured a thinner rim than Assyrian chariot wheels, and six thinner spokes compared to the Assyrians’ eight thicker ones. God destroyed chariots similar to this one in the Red Sea (Exod 14:23–28).

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.
