ARMENIAN NOBLE WARRIOR UNDER THE PROTECTION OF

The Mitanni armies were composed of highly skilled professional troops. Their elite warriors were the maryannu, the horsemen and the charioteers of the aristocracy. The Mitanni chariots served as the models for the chariots of the neighboring armies. Mitanni chariots were sleek platforms with two wheels and a team of two horses. The horses and the maryannu warrior were well armored -- covered in bronze or iron scale armor. The attendants included archers that would fight with the noble charioteer from the chariot and the servants would attend the horses. The Armenian-Hurrian-Hyksos [Hayksos] extended their domain through Palestine to Egypt.

THE GUARDIAN LEADERS OF THE KINGDOM AND THE PEOPLE

The Armenians were the great innovators of a military system made up of an elite chariot corps drawn only from the aristocracy of the nation. Another innovation was their tactic of using chariots to surround the enemy and then using the chariot as a protected firing platform delivered a constant fire of arrows and javelins. Once they had broken up the enemy formation they used the chariot as an impact weapon trampling the opposing soldiers. The fearsome Armenian maryannu cavalry became renowned and highly sought as mercenary troops throughout all of the NearEast.
