World's Oldest Wheel Found?


A 5,100- to 5,350-year-old wooden wheel recently was found in Slovenia buried within an ancient marsh, according to a press release issued earlier this month by the Slovenian news agency STA.

The team of archaeologists who found the wheel claims it is 100 years older than the world's current tied record-holders, both said to be from Europe.
