    That is a similar argument I had developing in my head. Without proper materials for a composite bow you cannot make a bow small enough to be effectively used, or used at all, on horseback. I'm not sure though and haven't done enough research into that portion of Arabia to say for certain though.


    Edit: Sorry, I missed your post, Geoffrey.

    If that is the case then the argument I would put forth is that Celtic chariots had, at times, played a significant role during battle unlike camels... that is, at least as far we know. If we found a rocking inscription from Arabia detailing camel warfare and all its virtues in our era then we would most likely add camels, but so far that hasn't happened.
