Egyptian Chariots

 

Egyptian chariots were the finest in the ancient world. They were small and light, carrying a driver and one passenger (Ex.14:6). The wheels were about 40 inches in diameter and 7 feet apart, for stability. The floor was a half-circle in front and straight in back along the axle. When the floor was made of woven leather, it provided some suspension for the riders. [Chronological Study Bible, p.86]
