King Tut's personal chariot was one of six discovered in Tut's tomb in 1922, and though plain, it showed interesting signs of wear that would pique any museum-lover's attention.
It did a world tour, arriving in New York City in 2010—its first journey out of Egypt since it was first created nearly 3,000 years ago.
It instantly ran into customs issues, though. When it arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, it was held up because it was classified as a vehicle, which required a vehicle identification number.
It's hard to classify the artifact as a vehicle, though. There are no engines, no seats, and no steering wheels. The only way to get it to move requires an animal or person pulling it, and it resembles more of a rickshaw than any gladiator mount.
Eventually, the confusion was cleared up and the chariot made its debut at the Manhattan Discovery Times Square Exposition, and stayed for about five months before moving on.
