I was reading posts about “Bows and Arrows in the New World” when I noticed that carts* were mentioned about some Southern people.According to what I've learned and just like this article here under, I thought that the wheel wasn't used in Ancient America !? *(or was it in use after European contacts, just like the horse ?)"Why Not Wheels?Given that this technology was known by several cultures of Ancient America, and given (and it is a FACT) that is was not in use to transport goods and people, the question begs answering: why wasn't it used?"http://www.precolumbianwheels.com/ However did Ancient America create a technology unknown to Europeans ?Update: the above link is dead however this one is about the same subject but with few more considerations about that so-called forgotten Mesoamerican wheel...

Von Danniken would have us to believe that ancient astronauts gave them their technology. But I think they were a resourceful people who appreciated mathematics and science, and were certainly capable of employing simple machines to make their daily tasks easier just like any other culture has done.
