Did they have cars in Egyptian times?

Question

Like with stone wheels and whatnot?
I say they did my friend say they dont. Who is in the wright here?

Answer 1

Well, since Egypt still exists and they have cars now, and there is no specific era called Egyptian. I will say 'yes'. They do have cars in 'Egyptian Times'

Answer 2

Sorry Wayne. Cars were not around in Egyptian times. Engines had not then been invented. They did have wheeled transport, though, in the form of Horse- drawn chariots.

Answer 3

There is no known vehicle that ever used stone for the wheels (other than the Flintstones cartoon.) The material was too heavy and too fragile. Wood was the first choice, probably from day one.

Answer 4

I'm afraid your friend is right. For one thing, there was not much in the way of roads in ancient Egypt. In the Nile Valley annual flooding would have eliminated them and in the desert sand storms would have done the same. Transport was by foot, by animal or by boat. Heavy things were carried, dragged or floated.
Thanks for the question.

Answer 5

I wasn't aware Egyptian times were over.
President Hosni Mubarak will be very upset.

Answer 6

Your friend.
