The wheel, first used effectively in ancient Mesopotamia, revolutionized human history by enabling faster transportation for goods and people, transforming warfare with chariots, revolutionizing agriculture and crafts through irrigation and grinding techniques, and forming the foundation for modern machinery, including waterwheels and windmills, which drove industrialization and continues to shape our world today (https://www.citeco.fr/10000-years-history-economics/the-origins/invention-of-the-wheel#%3A%7E%3Atext=The+wheel+was+invented+in%2Cthe+basic+mechanism+in+windmills).&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwir3ODIvYKQAxXp_rsIHQ9mK64QgMkKegQIThAE&usg=AOvVaw0GmNq2t-l7KEwCmTL7tZcb)
