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.
Toys
Quote:The wheel was indeed known in America. On the left, pottery toy with wheels in Taxila (India), second century BC. Taxila is situated 33º 44´N and 72º 49´E, 45km NW of Rawalpindi. On the right, dog or deer with painted muzzle and eyes. In Veracruz, Mexico (ca. 500 AD).
