"Wheel" is an English equivalent of "wiel."

The invention of the wheel is considered a giant leap for humankind. Traditionally, the wheel's inventors are thought to be the Mesopotamian peoples who settled between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers around 7,000 years ago. But scientists are revisiting that conclusion on the basis of improved technology and additional archaeological finds.

Specifically, it now appears that the invention of the wheel also took place about the same time in the areas of the present Balkans, central Europe and the northern Caucasus. In fact, the earliest known artistic depictions of the wheel are from outside Mesopotamia. Indeed, they instead are found in connection with the Funnelbeaker culture of people living in southern Poland by 3500 B.C.E. - 3350 B.C.E.
