Moreover, the fact that the yoke was originally covered with morocco, for the manufacture of which the Libyans had long been famous in the fifth century B. C. 1, also points to a Libyan origin. It is therefore probable that the Egyptians obtained their - light four-spoked chariot from the Libyans and along with it the horse. Having once obtained the primitive Libyan chariot with a four-spoked wheel and no metal, the Egyptians gradually improved its construction by increasing the number of spoke...s in the wheel to six (Fig. 68) and even to eight and by using metal. In 1902 Mr Howard Carter and Mr Percy E. Newberry excavated (at the cost of Mr Theodore M. Davis) the tomb of Thothmes IV (circa 14141383 B. C. ), at El Moluk. It contained along with many other objects the remains of the king's chariot. "Although the wheels and several other parts of the chariot are missing, through its having been broken up and partially destroyed by the ancient plunderers of the tomb, the fragments that remain and the representations of the king's war chariot in the scenes modelled in stucco on the framework of the ' body/ give us valuable information respecting its structure 2 .
