[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [b]Wheeled vehicles found in ancient West Africa- in Niger for example [/b] Robin Law, The Horse in West African History, 1980- pg 160, 155-163) [i] "Heavy draught work in these early times had therefore to be done by oxen rather than horses; and there are, in addition to the horse-drawn chariots, numerous rock engravings depicting ox-drawn carts in both the central and the western Sahara. However by the Islamic era wheeled transport had apparently gone completely out of use in the Sahara... " then it talks about the engravings in Mali: "The most southerly depiction of a wheeled cart in Saharan rock art is an engraving at TOndia, near Goundam to the northwest of the Niger bend: unfortunately the engraving is too stylized for it to be clear whether the draught animals shown are intended to be horses or oxen."
