It involved horses and 150 casualties out of a few thousand people?

At first, I thought it might have been my ancestors having a family reunion, but there would have been more casualties.

I wonder what the hell they were fighting over 3000 years ago?

The battle stretched over a couple of kilometres, only a small portion of the battlefield has been excavated.

It said that only 150 have been found so far, but even more may have been involved.

THe few thousand is an estimate based on the exploration of about 2 to 3% of the battle area and finding 150 bodies and 5 horses. Remember, not everyone died so involvement probably was higher.
