times they knew the horse the best If ever
these records are to be found IL should be
among their clay tablets
But wherever IL was that the horse was
domesticated there is no doubt that it revo-
lutionized ancient warfare. In its day and
age the horse and chariot had all the military
usefulness of the powerful tank and panzer
divisions of the modern German Army Of Hit
ler Probably, too, 1t was just as potent
weapon of conquest in those ancient times
One has only to read what Job has TO say
about the horse to realize that in 1900 b. c.
and for centuries later-a chariot charge was
just as terrifying to foot soldiers as would be
a mass formation of Stuka dive bombers to-
day, or the roaring charge of heavy tanks.
And without being frivolous IL can be
noted that when Job had the horses saying
"Ha Ha" at the sound of the trumpets, he was
recording that the horse is the original source
of the horse laugh" Our modern slang on
this point is not really so modern after all.
How well the Egyptians learned the mill
tary lessons of the horse and the chariot is
shown in the epic picture on this page by the
German artist Karl Oderich portraying the
famous battle of Kadesh where the army of
Pharoah Rameses III overthrow the Hittites
or the Khetta as they were called in Egypt
Not only did hordes Of chariots storm the
Hittite armies but Rameses ii set loose
swarms of tigers, lions and leopards on the
enemy which turned the battlefield into a fero-
cious struggle between animals and man.

ual which has been discovered in ancient
Hittite ruins.
But the Mitanni did more than just breed
horses. On those horses and with swift
wheeled chariot, they turned into conquerors
and swept down into the so called Fertile
Crescent" of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.
BY this they dominated the trade and caravan
routes to India and added commercial pros
perity to their military state.
Although science cannot be sure as yet
it is probable that the great open and grassy
plains Of central Asia led to the domestication
of the horse and the rise of the mysterious
forefathers. Just as the most skilled horse
men of the United States lived in the plains
area Of our nation, so did the earliest at

tempts succeed, when man decided to
try and ride on horseback on the
Asiatic plains.
Horses were common all over Eu-
rope in the old Stone Age. At the
cave of Solutre, near Lyons, France,
have been found tens of thousands of
bones of horses which the few Stone
Age families, who lived in the cave,
probably ate as food.
That the horses were used for food,
and not for riding. is almost certain.
Most of the horse bones on this his
toric Stone Age site are those Of
foals and young animals which could
be most easily caught or killed. And
almost without exception 49, the
bones have been cracked open to get
at the bone marrow.
