Question

A forensic team led by Chris Naunton claimed in 2013 to have confirmed an accident involving one of these objects led to the death of one ruler. A hieroglyphic symbol for union (15[1])decorated one of these objects in Tutankhamun’s tomb, which contained six (15[1])of them. A gold-plated one of these objects was gifted to Amenhotep III as a wedding present, according to the Amarna Letters. The use of these objects was the defining feature of a caste called the (*) Maryannu. Thousands of these objects were present at one event, according to the Poem of Pentaur. In addition to the composite bow, the Hyksos have generally been credited with introducing these objects to Egypt. A relief at Abu Simbel depicts Ramesses II on this technology at the Battle of Kadesh. For 10 points, name these horse-drawn carts used by the ancient Egyptian military. ■END■
