>The first wheelbarrows in medieval Europe appeared sometime between 1170 and 1250.How is this possible?
>>18440344Donkeys and mules were common, so it was easier to use them. Wheelbarrows can get stuck in mud, they only became really relevant once roads got better.
This is why it's stupid when people dunk on Prehispanic civilizations for not using wheelbarrows, even in Eurasia they were a pretty late innovation
>>18440344What the hell are you talking about? They would have been used for millennia, not preserved for millennia.
>>18440363wtf? Romans were using wheelbarrows as metering devices for laying road measurements. I get you're trying to invalidate other cultures to raise up your special interest in comparison, but Pre-Hispanics probably had equivalents too regardless. It really doesn't make sense not to have something filling that role and still building concentrated townships.
>>18440365It's not a checklist
>>18440344As someone who has spent time taking care of livestock, wheelbarrows are almost entirely useless 6-8 months out of the year.
>>18440344they arent nearly as useful as pack animals, or head portage which euros used into the 1700s.
>>18440600There's quite literally a checklist. If you can't do X, then you can't do Y. There's no mysticism involved.
>>18441115>they arent nearly as useful as pack animalsThere's no upkeep involved. Wheelbarrows should always precede animal domestication.
>>18440344whites invented the wheel 5,500 years ago and you are a retarded shitskin whose people aren't even part of the human species
>>18441123Why do you need wheels without animal domestication?NTA
>>18440344most of the population was mentally stunted due to protein poor diets.
>>18441123But animal have other upsides, oxen and horses can pull plows, donkeys and mules can go in tougher terrain, as one Anon said when the group gets muddy wheelbarrow get stuck, you can also eat pack animals, use their skin for leather and they produce manure.
>>18440344For me it's the stirrupsI thought people invented that shit in 2000 BC or somethingbut turns out it was invented in the 4th century AD
>>18440344>1250ADand that's still 500 years before most Africans had the wheel, whilst it had been known in Europe since time immemorial.
>>18441127>>18442824Please work on your racial insecurity/defensiveness. I wasn't attacking EVROPA.
