Every where we hear that they did not use the wheel.
I wonder if these civilizations have ever use a tool like the lathe
to
produce crafts.

Apparently the wheel was not known to them, though I believe there
are known
wheeled toys from the Aztec.

It's a bit of a problem for Mormon theology, as the wheel would have
been
well-known to the Israelites. It's also a bit strange that the
"aliens"
never passed along the modest technology of the wheel while teaching
the
Amerinds all the advanced math and astronomy. Perhaps their
"chariots" had
no wheels, in spite of Von Daniken..

I don't know about the \Aztecs, but the Myans did indeed know about a
Wheel. It was a Holy symbol, and therefore, they would not use it for
anything a mundain as a tool. Their calander is round.

round is a circle
but a circle does not a wheel make

BTW - they also "invented" zero
