An Egyptian chariot that rebuilds almost from nothing
In 2008, Egyptologists Salima Ikram and Andre Veldmeijer launched the Ancient Egyptian Leather Project (AELP) to study the technologies used by Egyptians in this activity. Among other topics, the project focused on leather carts.
These useless carriages, named after A. C. It began to be used for military purposes around 1650. They were subsequently also used for the transport of persons and goods. But because they were made of organic material, they haven't been preserved until today, and we only know their existence through murals and reliefs.
Project members discovered that in the warehouses of the Cairo Egyptian Museum there were pieces of leather strips for the horses, but when they went to see the material they found 300 pieces of the cover of a chariot. Now, by creating the missing fragments to form the puzzle, an Egyptian chariot is being rebuilt for the first time.
