Was the wheel invented before the wall?












3















So, this extraordinary claim has been getting a lot of publicity lately:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQKrfGCd7I8




They say a wall is medieval, well so is a wheel. A wheel is older than a wall. And I looked, and every car out there, even the really expensive ones the secret service use. And believe me, they are expensive. I said "do they all have wheels?". "Yes". "Oh, I thought it was medieval." The wheel is older than the wall, you know that?



Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States of America




I'm pretty sure I know about this, but was the wall invented before, or after the wheel?

    I understand that a "credible claim" is required for this to be an acceptable question on Skeptics SE. Given that the source is a powerful and influential individual, hopefully this is appropriate.

No, walls predate wheels by several millenia.



The invention of the wheel is generally placed at around 3500-4500 BCE. However walls were famously built around the town of Jericho in 8000-9000BCE.

            Single-Malt-Whisky

            Image
            Fünf verschiedene schottische Single-Malt-Whiskys Als Single-Malt-Whisky oder kürzer Single Malt werden Whiskys bezeichnet, die zwei besondere Bedingungen erfüllen: Sie stammen zum ersten aus einer einzigen Brennerei, sind also kein Verschnitt aus mehreren Whiskysorten (daher Single , deutsch: einzeln). Zum zweiten wird als Getreide ausschließlich gemälzte Gerste verwendet (deswegen Malt , deutsch: Malz). Der Zusatz Single Malt wird als Prädikat verstanden, die so ausgezeichneten Whiskys sind in aller Regel besonders hochwertig. Hinzu kommt ihre besonders lange Lagerung, die Reifungszeit währt oft ein Jahrzehnt und länger.
