If Ramesses II had been a biker
« on: November 22, 2008, 11:59:43 AM »
At the battle of Kadesh--1300 B.C.
Ramesses II claimed a great victory,
but recent investigation thinks differently.
Probably due to the use of square wheels !

It's slow and possibly irrelevant.

Good point
Lose badly--come back & carve a victory parade in stone --and you won !
People forget.
We might have won in Vietnam ? Hard to tell these days.

Would have been really cool if the motor accelerated and the wheel turned faster.   Still cool though. ;)
