Who first invented the chariot?

The chariot is believed to have been invented around 2000 BCE in the region of the Caucasus, with the earliest known examples found in the steppes of Eurasia. The invention is attributed to the Indo-European peoples, who used it for transportation and warfare. While it is difficult to pinpoint a single inventor, the Sumerians and Hittites are among the earliest cultures documented to have utilized chariots in historical records.
