    I was going to say “chariot noises” but it looks like the oldest are from ~1950 BC, in Russia of all places?

    My opinion on pyramid building Egyptian pharaohs is ruined and will never be remade.

    Broke bitches didn’t even have chariots because "no one has invented them yet.’

      I think you might be right about chariot noises actually. The Encyclopedia Britannica suggests that chariots, including four wheeled versions, were first invented in Mesopotania around 3000BC, which would tie in nicely with the estimated age of the toy. It’d be like having a model of the latest and greatest supercar, or possibly tank.

        That’s interesting. Wikipedia claimed the oldest examples were Russian… I wonder what that bias there was!
