    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!
