Archaeologists Discovered 22000 Year Old Tracks That May Be From the World’s First Vehicle.
Archaeologists Discovered 22000 Year Old Tracks That May Be From the World’s First Vehicle. The discovery of 22000 year old tracks at White Sands National Park in New Mexico has shed new light on early human innovation and transportation methods. These tracks as revealed in a recent study published in Quaternary Science Advances suggest that ancient humans used a rudimentary vehicle known as a travois to transport goods or belongings. This finding challenges conventional perspectives on early transportation pushing back the timeline of non wheel based vehicles much further than previously thought. At the heart of this discovery are the linear impressions found alongside human footprints. Unlike ordinary tracks left by people walking these marks suggest the dragging of wooden poles indicating the use of a travois. This is a simple yet effective means of carrying heavy loads by lashing two poles together often in the shape of a triangle and pulling them along the ground. Such a transport method was widely used by Indigenous peoples in North America well into recent history particularly among the Plains tribes who adapted it for use with horses. However, this new discovery suggests that its use dates back much further to a time when humans were still navigating the challenges of Ice Age survival.
