The invention and development of the chariot around the third millennium revolutionized the art of warfare and dominated the battlefields for some 3 years. It seems to have evolved in the borderlands between the steppes and the riverlands. It is believed that the ?ryan borrowed the idea?of?chariot?from?Sumerians?around?2 bc. It is presumed that these ?ryans entered Iran and departed in three branches. One marches westward towards Syria, another eastward towards?India?and?a?third?stays?back?in?Iran. The absence of chariot in Indus valley civilization suggests that chariot arrived in India with ?ryans, who settled here around 15 bc. They?used?it?as?a?lethal?war?machine?to?conquer?the?natives.
