I,ve been watching a program about how the pyramids were built before the wheel was invented, so can someone throw some light on when it was invented.

The wheel was invented long ago.
The wheel reached Europe in the 4th millennium, and India with the Indus Valley Civilisation 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.

The wheel was invented by the civilization of the Egyptians. It was derived from the log.
A large team of Egyptian middle management met to determine the potential of the new device. There was a long and procastinating discussions over its fate. Some say wars were fought. However, following years of debate by the various advisory teams, white smoke rose over the senate of the day and it was decided that the wheel would be painted yellow.
It was not until the Romans came along, realised its potential and said it could be any colour you like. Futher inovations took place, the original wheel was square and pythagoras calculated that if the wheel was triangular there would be one less bump and so from these humble beginnings the modern wheel has evolved.
This will not enlighten you but the answer doesnt always have to!

The original wheel was square. The round wheel came much later. The inventor was refused a patent because the examining officer decided the inversion was of no commercial importance.
