The problem with just saving the URLs from potential IotD images is that sometimes the story goes away before I use the image, and that's the case today. All I know is the obvious: this dig found a rather well-preserved sector of chariot parts, along with the horses that would have pulled it.
The thing that amazes me is the wheels. I would have thought they'd made wheels out of solid blocks of wood. That sure looks like some kind of metal rim and axle - did they have spokes?
The idea that civilizations figured various things out, then died off without passing along their information, is totally amazing to me.
