Boats with sails were used in Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Read about the history of transportation. Read the statements. Decide if they are True or False.
Circle the correct answers:
The earliest form of public transport was on water. Boats and rafts made of reeds, wood and animal skins were used in Egypt and South America. In about 4000 BCE, boats with sails were used in Mesopotamia (now Iraq).
Early Chinese engineers began to build canals for carrying boats in the fifth century BCE. The first important canal in Europe was the Canal du Midi in France, completed in 1681.
The railway age began in Britain with Richard Trevithick’s steam railway locomotive in 1814. The first passenger railway opened in 1825 in the north of England. At first, people worried that they wouldn’t be able to breathe when travelling at speeds of 25 kilometres per hour!
The first buses were introduced in France in 1827 by Stanilas Baudry. They were pulled by horses and they were called voitures omnibus. The first motor car was built by Karl Benz in 1885. Buses with petrol engines soon replaced horse-drawn buses and cars took over the roads.
The buses that replaced horse-drawn buses ran on petrol:

What would we do if there were no wheels? In my opinion, the most important invention of all time is the wheel. Without the wheel, people could not travel anywhere very easily or quickly. We depend on the wheel for all our transport, such as cars, trains and planes (because planes need wheels to take off and land). If we had to travel long distances without wheels, it would be very difficult. It would also be difficult to see other cities and countries. This means that we wouldn’t know about other places and the world would seem very small for us.
If we didn’t have the wheel, it would be harder to work quickly and easily. This is because we need wheels to go to and from work, but also because we need wheels to carry things. Without wheels, people would have to carry heavy things in other ways. We might have to use animals or carry things ourselves. Wheels are also a very important part of machines in factories and on farms because they make the machines work. These kinds of wheels are called ‘cogs’.
There are lots of very important inventions that have changed the world. But I think that the wheel is the most important for these reasons.
