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.
