  1. Even before the invention of the modern castor wheels that we use today, history already has a record of how the Egyptians of the ancient times have utilized logs to roll giant stone blocks used to construct their pyramids. It might even come as a surprise that the first wheel which is the basic inspiration of today's castors is not even used to carry anything.
