Imagine how advanced transportation technology was 4,000 years ago—and how it’s still there today.
The Lchashen Wagon is one of the most remarkable archaeological finds from the Bronze Age, found in Armenia, in the Lchashen area near Lake Sevan. It’s about 4,000 years old and made entirely of oak, a type of wood known for its durability and strength.
What makes this wagon special is not just its age, but also that it’s one of the earliest examples of wheeled transportation. This suggests that people of the time had an advanced understanding of technology, especially in woodworking techniques such as mortise and tenon joints (a nailless joint still used in modern carpentry).
The Lchashen Wagon’s excellent state of preservation allows archaeologists and historians to learn more about the daily life, mobility, and technical skills of ancient people in the region in the 2nd millennium BCE. Factors that contributed to its preservation include stable soil conditions, a favorable climate, the burial site in a mound, and the natural durability of oak.
The chariot is now a symbol of the glory of ancient Armenian culture and evidence that prehistoric society had achieved an extraordinary level of progress in technology and social life.
