Heavy objects could be moved easier if something round, like a log was placed under it and the object rolled over it. Logs or sticks were placed under an object and used to drag the heavy object, like a sled and a wedge put together. Later, humans thought to use the round logs and a sledge together. Humans used several logs or rollers in a row, dragging the sledge over one roller to the next. W…
