The Inca Empire never used the wheel for transport.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Inca Empire never used the wheel for transport?

Unclear. One peer-reviewed chapter states the wheel was among the Old World inventions unknown to the Incas, and a llama reference notes Inca armies moved supplies by pack train rather than wheeled vehicles. Neither source directly addresses wheeled transport in the Inca Empire, so the evidence only partially supports the claim.

Distribution. Llamas are found at 3800-5000 m above sea level in the Central Andes, from C Peru to W Bolivia and N Argentina. Llama distribution reached its apex during the expansion of the Inca Empire (1470-1532 ap), when pack trains were used to carry supplies for the royal armies to S Colombia and C Chile. Although originally indigenous and endemic to South America, Llamas have now been exported to countries around the world as a companion animal, featured in livestock shows, used for trekkin
