[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 569076, member: 4012"] Whoah, gentlemen - it's not a pub quiz - let's stick to the relevant history of the area in question, please! AFAIK King Tut was never active in the Scottish Borders region and those pre-Roman "[i]many civilisations[/i]" were way over on the far side of Europe and the Asian steppes. The Celts are known to have had chariots by 200BC (ie. 2200 years ago), but 4-5000 years ago (ie. 2000-3000BC) seems like a stretch. We're talking about a detectable axle, remember - so Bronze Age maybe (2500BC to 500BC), but most likely Iron Age (no earlier than 500BC). [/QUOTE]
