Yes they did. There is a theory that King Tut may have died in a hunting accident when he fell out of his horse-drawn chariot. They did an xray on his mummy and it looks like his knee was broken while he was still alive. He was apparently a big hunter while he was alive- his tomb is filled of scenes of him hunting in his chariot (with horses).

The Egyptians used oxen and similar animals to build the pyramids. It was a ridiculous idea that an advanced civilization would use hundreds of slaves when a small amount of beasts of burden could do the job quicker, faster and cheaper. The manpower used was done by paid workers, not slaves, which is shown by the graffiti, tombs and towns of the pyramid builders.

egyptians did not ride horses. but two years later one Egyptian found a mysterious creature that ther tamed and used to pull mummies and other stuff.

a couple years later like 4 or 5, people discovered that they cAN ride horses but it took a long time to tame them to ride them because most horses did not like the fact that people rode on their backs.

Yes, the horse was less useful at that time because the proper yoke set up had not been made for horses yet.

This meant they were mainly fancy transport for the rich
