The Mayan civilisation did not utilise the wheel in the same way that Japan did not utilise the wheel ...the terrain was not conducive to it's application, and yet they KNEW of the wheel. The Mayan civilisation utilised the wheel in the Long and Short Count Calendars and so had full knowledge of the mathematical and physical applications of the "wheel"
Thanks for the info. But still, I find it to be very "silly" that they didn`t figure out how to use the wheel in something like a "wheelbarrow", no matter how horrible the terrain must have been (which I dont think it was in the cities) at a certain point someone must have had noticed that that thing "roles".
I would have to make a much more in depth study of ancient meso-American culture as to whether confirm or deny whether the wheel was use or not and what for mate.
