Ah, the evil wheel.

It was that Sumerian busybody Ishme-algor who gathered a contingent against using the wheel. Ishme-algor said its use brought the evil gods of bad climate to bring terror upon the lands.

The Mayan Indians also invented the wheel and used it only for kid’s toys. I guess they felt, as my old boss used to say, “Walking ain’t out of Style!”
