  One of the most important inventions was the wheel. The people of Mesopotamia first used wheels between 3500 and 3000 B.C.

  Another important invention was the boat. The first boats were just rafts. People

made them by laying tree trunks or brunches side by side and tying them together. Later on they covered the bottoms of the rafts with animal skins to try to keep the water out.

  Around five thousand years ago, the Egyptians made the first sailboats. The sails catch the wind and use wind power to make the boat go.

  The horses traveled a lot farther after the invention of horseshoes. Horseshoes are metal shoes nailed to the bottom of a horse’s foot. People built roads to ride their horses and roll their carts on. In Rome, writers complained about traffic jams thousands of years ago. There were too many carts and horses!
