The Sumerians, who lived in the Middle East, invented the wheel in about 3450 BC.
It is a mystery as to who invented the very first wheel. It is believed to have been invented much earlier, however.
The very first wheels were used for potter's wheels. A potter's wheel seems like an unimportant invention. However, the creation of pottery was very important in the advancement of mankind. Pottery vessels allowed humans to transport food and especially water. This made them not as dependent on living right next to a water source.
