riding on horses - mdroberts18 - 06-08-2008 this is a bit non greek or roman but i thought somebody might know something .i just went to abu simnel in Egypt and in the inscritions dealing with battle of kadesh there was a chariot with both a driver in the carriege and a man also clearly riding one of the horses.I was under the impression that the first evidence for riding horses was with the Assyrians somewhat later.Does anybody know anything or alternatly know of an Egyption chat room where somebody might know .looking forward to hearing anything mike Re: riding on horses - Kineas - 06-08-2008 Horseback riding goes back to the middle Bronze Age.
