Proto-Indo-European religion
I read the Anthony "The Horse, the Wheel, and Language" book several years ago, and really do not remember it saying what you claim it says. To the contrary, the "Yamnaya horizon" and its immediately neighboring and successor cultures were said to have nothing much beyond bareback horse-riding and basic carts with plank wheels. Chariots may have existed during a semi-sprachbund phase, when the Indo-European languages/dialects had already spread out over a fairly wide area, and Sintashta/Andronovo was starting to break out to the east / south-east, but chariots almost certainly did not exist "before Indo-European had split into linguistic branches"..
