In India found 4,000-year-old chariots

During the archaeological excavations in the Indian village of Sinauli, located in the north of the country, fragments of three chariots were found. According to the researchers, these are the first chariots of the Bronze Age found on the Indian subcontinent.

Excavations of the 4000-year-old burial began in March 2018. For three months, archaeologists managed to find swords, axes, helmets. In their opinion, these findings indicate the existence of a bellicose culture in India during the Bronze Age. Among other things, various ornaments were found.

During the excavation, scientists stumbled upon a richly decorated coffin with eight anthropomorphic figures. Its sides were also decorated with images of bronze colors.

Chariots were similar to those used in Mesopotamia. Their wheels were a single disc without spokes.
