Not for nothing

but

... in traditional Chinese sources with the invention of the chariot during the 2nd millennium BC... Modern archaeological evidence has not found support for that, however, and suggests instead a date closer to 1200 BC...

This article should also mention the separate tradition crediting chariots to the earlier culture hero Xuanyuan, later conflated with the the Yellow Emperor and treated as his personal name despite literally meaning the axle-and-shaft guy. — LlywelynII 03:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
