I saw this picture in the history book. It's written a lot about that, but actually I wasn't know it was found in Slovenia. So, how they came to the idea, how would they do that? That's how I think: They had sharp tools...When they cut off the tree, it fell and started turning around down the hill. Because they didn't know how to add a whole tree on their tools, they have to cut the tree into small pieces. The wheel was born.

Can you see how knowledge is accumulated: you get some at history, then you add more during English classes and so on... And then you end a clever man!
An interesting theory about the invention of the wheel!
