More model informationIntroduced into Egypt by the Hyksos in the sixteenth century B.C., the chariot was throughout the New Kingdom closely associated with the king, who is constantly shown dominating the field of battle, the reins around his waist, firing his bow. Chariots begin to appear in Egyptian wall reliefs and paintings from the early 18th dynasty, and are mentioned as diplomatic gifts in the correspondence from el-Amarna. Until the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb only two complete vehicles were known - one now in Florence and another from the tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu - together with a miscellaneous array of chariot fittings and fragments from other tombs in the Valley of the Kings and elsewhere.
