I've read that the Aztecs, Mayans, and all native Americans had never invented the wheel. is this true? Even as a mechanical device, like a pottery wheel?
The wheel existed in the Mesoamerican cultures (most famously in pull toys such as this Aztec Dog or this Mayan Jaguar), but the lack of usable draft animals combined with terrain made it's use as a widespread tool a bit unreasonable.
