They never came up with the wheel. Of course they were tireless.

Iirc they did come up with the wheel as some children's toys involved it, but just didn't find a practical use for it because they didn't have beasts of burden to pull carts.

Take this with a grain of salt though because I have no idea where this trivia came from, it was just rattling away on my head.

I believe the Aztecs were the ones with wheeled toys (although it might have been the Maya).

Some tribes used stone wheels to crush maize. Full circle.

Stone wheels are a full circle!

Yeah, it was either one of those two or the Inca.
