The chariot,
probably invented in the Near East, became one of the most innovative weaponry
in Bronze Age warfare. It seems that the Achaeans adopt the chariot for use in
warfare in the late 16th century BC as attested in some gravestones as well as
seal and ring. The use of the chariot was more likely diffused in the Greek
mainland from the Near East after the Middle Bronze Age as a result of the
Central and East Europe migration flows and Achaeans' trade contacts with those
regions.
