I've heard a revised chariot story. By Roman times chariots weren't needed to carry armored soldiers. Horses were by then bred big enough to carry soldiers on horseback. <br />The Persian empire 500 years earlier did need chariots. The empire's communication lines depended on fast chariots. To safely speed through the mountains grooves were cut to fit chariot wheels. I read these grooves can be found in Iran's mountains and they are standard gauge.
