Excerpt:
“Almost 3500 years ago the Egyptians recognized the necessity for improving their weapons of War, chiefly the chariot. Through countless experiments they produced a faster type of chariot… through the invention of the wheel. It served in peace as well as war and marked the first beginning of transportation and commerce.”
