More about the book
The invention of the wheeled vehicle in the Ancient Near East was one of the single most important discoveries for early human societies. In the Ancient Near East, and in Egypt and the Mediterranean world, horses were used to pull wheeled vehicles, chariots, carts and wagons from at least the third millennium BC. As travel is one of the defining features of human development, so the history of the horse is the history of civilisation itself.0Exhibition: British Museum, London, UK (24.5.-30.9.2012).
