Hello there, first time poster here. How were chariots supposed to be used effectively in ancient times, such as in ancient Egypt, Babylon, Canaan, etc.? It seems like such a huge target for skirmishers to shoot and spearmen to take a whack at. Additionally, horses generally don't charge at walls, and it seems like they'd be even less inclined to pull a heavily laden cart towards a screaming morass of armed men. Such a large item, pulled by two horses and with a lot of moving parts, also seems like it would make chariot-archery a supremely difficult enterprise.
