Q1: Imagine your life with no wheeled vehicles. How would you do shopping, travel, get to school, etc.?
[Answer]

Although the Maya and Aztec built very good routes throughout their empire, you may be amazed to learn that they did not have any wheeled vehicles.

This was because the Maya and Aztec (like other middle American peoples) had no suitable animals such as horses or oxen to pull carts.

These did not arrive in the Americas until the arrival of the Spanish.
