The Ancients
Origins of the Wheel

Was dieser Prozess entdeckt hat, ist, dass das optimale Design, je nach den bestimmten Objektiven der Benutzern des Rads, im Grunde genommen ein slenderer Achsel mit zwei runden Disks, die wir jetzt als Räder bezeichnen.

The nature of this design really fits well with the idea of the mind environment. Because it was likely straight, we know that early wheel and axle systems, because they were what we call monolithic structures, they're a single part, right? And if you rotate it, everything rotates in unison.

anstatt eines Multibody-Systems, in dem du einen separaten Achsel und zwei Räder verbunden hast, aber sie können sich selbst umdrehen. Und ein monolithisches Räder- und Achselsystem kann Turrenten nicht navigieren. Also ist das Mind-Environment etwas, das zu dieser bestimmten, sehr primitiven Version der Räder-Technologie verleuchtet wäre.

The other thing about that type of wheel is that it also required very flat terrain, level terrain and firm terrain. And that also is where the mine environment, we believe, played a key role in allowing this technology to evolve. Because if it had been used for farming and it was used to carry harvest through a field, that terrain wouldn't have been covered.

It would have been less processed, so it would have likely been less flat, less firm, probably not level. The mind environment is very different. And so that's why we think that this society, which as far as we know, had no written language, very little mathematical or scientific sophistication. But their particular circumstances were such that... They were in the right place at the right time.

Whereas, by contrast, a civilization like the Egyptians, who were highly mathematically advanced, highly scientifically advanced, and had obviously every opportunity and every need, had a dire necessity for the wheel, you know, during the building of the pyramids, they apparently did not know about the wheel at the time that they built the pyramids.

So it goes to show the importance of environment in this technological development process.
