Chariots were introduced to Egypt by the Hyksos during the 2nd Intermediate Period and the Egyptians quickly adopted the technology, but they never got beyond making very lightweight versions. Good quality timber was always in very short supply in Egypt, so chariot-making was limited to fast but small, flimsy-framed and narrow-spoked examples drawn by just two horses. The body frame was often filled in with nothing more than leather panels.

The Assyrians built much heavier chariots that needed a four-horse team to draw them.

Did Solomon have horses?

The Book of 1 Kings says that Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. The Bible also tells us that the kings of Judah kept horses dedicated to the sun and there were chariots for the sun god kept in the Temple until they were eventually removed by King Josiah as inimical to monotheism (2 Kings 23:11). So, if the Temple was really built by Solomon, he might have started the practice of keeping the horses and chariot for the sun god.
