Detailed explanation-1: -The Sumerians didn’t invent wheeled vehicles, but they probably developed the first two-wheeled chariot in which a driver drove a team of animals, writes Richard W. Bulliet in The Wheel: Inventions and Reinventions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first wheeled vehicle, in other words, was a toy. In July 1880, the archaeologist Désiré Charnay discovered the first pre‑Columbian wheel set in the Americas. It was on a small coyote figure mounted on four wheels, and Charnay found it in the tomb of an Aztec child buried south of Mexico City.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
