The conversation covers the role of the chariotry as a shock weapon, the training of horse teams, and how Egypt's chariot corps evolved under Ramses to become a mobile strike force that secured his empire. Along the way, they touch on the logistical support system, the use of Nubian and Libyan auxiliaries, and the legacy of Ramses's chariotry in later Near Eastern warfare.
