but
... in traditional Chinese sources with the invention of the chariot during the 2nd millennium BC... Modern archaeological evidence has not found support for that, however, and suggests instead a date closer to 1200 BC...
does the original editor just not understand how millennia work? or did they leave out something? There's no contradiction in those two statements as written. — LlywelynII03:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
This article should also mention the separate tradition crediting chariots to the earlier culture hero Xuanyuan, later conflated with the the Yellow Emperor and treated as his personal name despite literally meaning the axle-and-shaft guy. — LlywelynII03:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
