Hyksos were the first to have chariots
The Hyksos introduced the chariot to Egypt around the 17th century BCE during the Second Intermediate Period. This innovation greatly enhanced military capabilities and transformed warfare in Egypt. The chariot, along with other technologies, played a crucial role in the Hyksos' ability to dominate and later influenced Egyptian military practices after their expulsion.
They did not "get the idea" they had chariots forced upon them by the invading Hyksos, who also introduced new technology for axes, swords and bows.
The Egyptians defeated the Hyksos by learning how to make the copper tools that the Hyksos made.
During the Bronze Age, the invention and enhancement of the chariot significantly transformed warfare, enabling groups like the Hittites and Hyksos to expand their territories through military conquests. Chariots provided a tactical advantage in speed and mobility, allowing armies to outmaneuver opponents and strike swiftly. This innovation facilitated the establishment of powerful kingdoms, as the ability to transport warriors and supplies efficiently bolstered military effectiveness and territorial control. The chariot became a symbol of prestige and power, further solidifying the dominance of these civilizations in the region.
The Hyksos introduced several significant innovations to ancient Egypt, including the horse-drawn chariot, new military technologies, and advanced warfare tactics. They also brought with them new agricultural techniques and the cultivation of certain crops, such as the introduction of the bronze technology for tools and weapons. Their influence marked a transformative period in Egyptian history, particularly during the Second Intermediate Period.

the war chariot was first invented by the Hyksos...somewhere around the 17th to 18th Dynasty of New Kingdom Egypt.They used the war chariot which overpowered Egypt, allowing them to conquer and establish an empire for the next 100 years...Another version of the invention of the war chariot is that the war chariot was invented in 1500 B.C.E by the Hittite empire.Source: The World's History, by Howard SpodekSince this was so long ago, there is no definite information as to who invented the war chariot and when. What we DO know, is that the Hyksos had it, that the Hittites had it, and that future empires had it.
well in Greece they didn't have chariot races some books might say that but archeology shows that only Rome had chariot races. but in Rome did not actually make chariot racing The Hyksos invented it in1800 - 1550 B.C
As a counter-attack against the pharoe's repeated attack to the Levant.
The Hyksos were foreign invaders and managed to maintain control due to superior weaponry. However, eventually that technological edge began to wane as Egyptians copied Hyksos technologies (like the chariot). The Egyptians, being far more numerous, were able to stage an effective rebellion and drive out the Hyksos occupiers.
A chariot is a wagon basically where you stand up with no back and two wheels and is powered by one or two horses. usually used by the richest in that time period such as the Pharaohs.
Yes, the Hyksos are credited with introducing the horse-drawn chariot to Egypt during their rule in the Second Intermediate Period (c. 1650-1550 BCE). This innovation significantly transformed Egyptian warfare and transportation, enhancing their military capabilities. The Hyksos' advanced technology and tactics influenced later Egyptian practices, eventually leading to the incorporation of chariotry into the Egyptian army.

1730 B.C. The Hyksos were semites who invaded egypt. They introduced the horse drawn chariot. Their capital city was the delta city Avaris (later Rameses). Their expulsion from Egypt was begun by Kamose and completed by Ahmose. The Hyksos probably were the Pharaohs friendly to Joseph and to Israel. Ahmose, the Pharaoh who expelled the Hyksos, presumably was the Pharaoh who became skeptical of the allegiance of the Hebrews and, therefore, placed them into bondage.
THE HYKSOS were a group of Semitic invaders from the Levant who first brought the chariot into Egypt. (Egypt already had horses, but it was the use of chariots that made the horses a formidable part of a fighting retinue.)
