The Rise and Fall of Chariots

How did chariots come in and out of use? With carriages and other horse drawn vehicles the question has a simple and obvious answer; the advent of cars. But chariots were abandoned long before carriages were. Chariots were most likely invented by the Iranic cultures which inhabited the area of western Russia around (supposedly) 2000 BC. At chariots were a devastating weapon, against which there was virtually no defense. Ultimately they became a liability, and were phased out.
