When Dr. Ikram noted that "chariots changed the way people looked at terrains and the way they interacted with them...before the chariot, transportation means in ancient Egypt were limited to boats, donkeys and walking. It introduced the notion of roadways for faster wheel conveyance, revolutionising the way Egyptians moved through the landscape and pioneering means of transportation and warfare", then only did it dawn upon me the importance of the reconstruction of the ancient chariots.

Unfortunately I cannot view the video, so I'm assuming that the video can only be viewed by UK viewers. Apologies.
Although the head of Ramesses II was discovered at Akhmim approximately six years ago, it was only recently that the artefact was moved to somewhere else safer. Owing to the revolution and failed security presence, this historical site has been tarnished by drug addicts and garbage.
Personally, am thankful that the artefact has been moved to a storage area since it's evident people aren't capable of understanding the need to preserve historical sites.
