Who invented the wheel?

Answer 1

me... wanna ride?

Answer 2

The wheel was invented more than 5,000 years ago. The simplest wheels were solid wood disks. Wooden pins held these wheels to an axle.

Wheels were first made in ancient times in an area of the Middle East called Mesopotamia. People put wheels on carts. Wheels let animals pull carts with heavy loads.

Answer 3

According to most authorities, the wheel-and-axle combination originated in ancient Mesopotamia during the 5th millennium BC, probably originally in the function of potter's wheels. The wheel's efficient use of input energy must have been quickly understood by its inventors because it was almost immediately set to work in other contexts, most importantly in transport (vehicles) and in foodstuff processing (mill wheels).

The earliest undisputed depiction of a wheeled vehicle (here a wagon -- four wheels, two axles), is on the Bronocice pot, a ca. 4000 BC clay pot excavated in southern Poland.

The wheel reached Europe in the 4th millennium, and India with the Indus Valley Civilization in the 3rd millennium. In China, the wheel is certainly present with the adoption of the chariot in ca. 1200 BC, and Barbieri-Low (2000) argues for earlier Chinese wheeled vehicles, circa 2000 BC. Whether there was an independent "invention of the wheel" in East Asia or whether the concept made its way there after jumping the Himalayan barrier remains an open question.

Answer 4

Long ago, strange beings came down from Mars. These beings had been watching the planet Earth for many years. They realized that man was infinetly stupid and completely incapable of doing anything other than: eat, sleep, mate.

After thinking it over for a while, they decided that man needed to do something constructive in order to further civilization on Earth.

They showed man a primitive (by their standards) wheel that strongly resembled the wheels we use today. Man could only stare stupidly and scratch it's ugly head. The beings sighed and moved to a pile of rocks nearby. One of them kicked a rock, sending it rolling down the hill. Man began to clap and cheer, finally understanding what the beings were trying to show them. After that, the beings left (there was a distress call from Mars-apparently the planet was dying).

Over the years, man forgot all about the beings and progressed on its own.

Thus, the origin of the wheel, and modern civilization.

Answer 7

Joe and Josephine cavers, noticed that round things were easier to move. After Joe had passed out from eating the fermented fruit from the magic tree, Josephine decided to roll him into a ball and roll him home, thus, further developing and refining the concept. By the way, while rolling Joe home, a bunch of pretty rocks he had been hiding fell out of his cloak, thus, the art of rolling drunks was also invented.
