The brain probably cannot percieve thousands of small and hard-to-see objects at once, and simply allows the frontal cortex to do some calculations that end up in the fact that all these crash and wriggle around randomly.

I personally do not believe the roasted king story, and the chariot crash would have been a bit… strange. Think about it. He was a pharaoh. He rarely ever had to get upon his knees, except maybe to pray, and that was in a sealed pyramid or temple. He would not have been crushed by a chariot either, since no one would go murder a king with a chariot. What are the chances of a huge bulky chariot crashing into a praying area without warning? (I made this too long, didn't I?)
