The Ljubljana Marshes Wheel is a wooden wheel that was found in the Ljubljana Marsh some 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, in 2002. [1] Radiocarbon dating , performed in the VERA laboratory ( Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator ) in Vienna , showed that it was approximately 5,100 to 5,350 years old, which ...
The oldest surviving example of a potter's wheel was thought to be one found in Ur (modern day Iraq) dating to approximately 3100 BCE. [15] However, a potter's wheel found in western Ukraine, of the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture, dates to the middle of the 5th millennium BCE which pre-dates the earliest use of the potter's wheel in Mesopotamia.

The earliest physical shoes found so far are bark sandals dated to 10 to 9 kya in Fort Rock Cave, United States. [52] The oldest known leather shoe dated to 5.5 kya was found in excellent condition in the Areni-1 cave located in the Vayots Dzor province of Armenia. [53] 44 kya – 42 kya: Tally sticks (see Lebombo bone) in Eswatini [54]
New theory says wheel was first used by copper miners in Carpathian mountains around 3900BC
A potter's wheel from the middle of the 5th millennium BC is the oldest ever found, and predates evidence of wheels in Mesopotamia by several hundred years. [19] The culture also has the oldest evidence of wheels for vehicles, which predate any evidence of wheels for vehicles in Mesopotamia by several hundred years as well. [16] [20] [21] [22]
Found in 2021, it included 23 pieces of goldwork, some with inscriptions, and was named the Vindelev Hoard. And the find has surprising implications for the history of Norse mythology.
Similar sandals found in Armenia are estimated to be 5,500 years old, while the shoes worn by “Ötzi the Iceman” — a prehistoric man found in Italy in 1991 — are dated to 5,300 years ago.
