Surely some researcher has attempted to reconstruct chariots, actually hitch them to some horses, and reported on the result. Anyone know any publications by...
I'm sure it has been done, but as no one is going to try to kill each other or the horses all you will learn is how manouverable it would be. Oh, come to think...
