Question

invention of wheel on which age

Answer 1

The first wheels were not used for transportation. Evidence indicates they were created to serve as potter's wheels around 3500 B.C. in Mesopotamia—300 years before someone figured out to use them for chariots. The ancient Greeks invented Western philosophy…and the wheelbarrow.J

Answer 2

The earliest archaeological evidence for a wheel comes from Mesopotamia, around 3500BC, after the development of agriculture. It is entirely possible that it was put together to carry produce to market, but it is also thought to be a modification of an earlier invention, the Potter’s wheel or turntable.
