The Wheel
Many people believe the wheel is the most important mechanical invention of all time.
Originally, the first wheel was invented by the Sumerians’ in Mesopotamia to sculpt pottery as early as 3500 B.C., and it wasn’t used for transportation until about 3200 B.C. in Mesopotamia.
The wheel was not that important of an invention to the Mesopotamians because they used animals as their mode of transportation.
The transformation from pottery wheel to transportation wheel was not an easy one and the concept of the wheel went through many developmental stages before it became a useful method of transportation.
