The one in Lake Michigan? With the Mammoth on it? If that is what you are talking about, I think that the wheel was considered a Religious invention, like the modern Wheel of Dharma. So when the wheel was invented it was spread around in sermons basically, and the idea was taught alongside other similar spiritual concepts, such as the movement of the sun, or the change of the seasons, etc. So when people went new places, they would make a wheel that matched something that meant something to them in the sky.

Isn't it believed that ancient Viking explorers put it there?

Random,
Imhotep invented Medicine around 3,000 BC, so like 5000 years ago. He invented Medicine, Surgery, Columns, Pyramids, Stairs, etc.
When he died they made a Temple in his name, people would bring the sick there to pray, and according to myth one guy brought his mother and Imhotep had him go and compile Imhotep's writings, so from then on they had all his writings in the Temple, and Medicine became a thing.
Later Imhotep was worshiped by Greeks in the form of a Black African, so worship of him was banned. He was replaced by Aesclapius, the Temples to Aesclapius were called Aesclapion, and they were basically the Hospitals of the time. They would let dogs lick people's wounds, and have non-venomous snakes crawl everywhere, and they would try to get people to sleep and have dreams given to them by Gods. This is when Pilgrimages for sick people became really popular and soon after this people would travel to be healed by people like Jesus.
Then Hippocrates came around in like 400 BC or something like that and created basically Chiropractics and Medicines, and gets called the Father of Medicine, even by Doctors today. No hardly even knows who Imhotep was.

I don't think I have heard of this one. But have you heard of the different Mormon discoveries? Mormons discover Temples, and Stonehenges, and weird stuff all the time.
The Smithsonian once published about Egyptian or Buddhist stuff in the Grand Canyon or something, and then there is like a record of some King sending people here, then there are Heiroglyphs from Egypt in Australia, there is Jewish writing on Tablets in South America (Fuentes Tablet or something).
But Mormons find this stuff, and sometimes people will say that it's fake, but sometimes they say it's not real because it doesn't make sense (doesn't fit with any other historical fact). But I don't think that is grounds to call something fake, they do though.

This is from that site:
Various inscriptions have been found throughout the site including Ogham, Phoenician and Iberian Punic Script. Dr. Barry Fell of Harvard University did extensive work on the inscriptions found at the site. They are detailed in his book America B.C.
How is this not more important to anyone than what Trump says on twitter?

That would make sense, but 2,000 BC is a little old for Vikings. 2,000 BC is more like Sea People, or Phoenicians. And Phoenicians could have easily crossed an ocean, it is just assumed by Historians that no one crossed an ocean until Ships had huge Hulls. But this would alone prove that people even before the Phoenicians crossed the Ocean, like just at the beginning of Phoenicians even existing.
Vikings came later, and also used boats with hulls and lots of people rowing, but that was later.
This is more like what Thor Hyerdhal was proving when he crossed the Atlantic 2/3 times on a Reed boat and a Raft.

Sorry, both he and Abraham weren't real dudes. Any mention of them in other writings is second hand at best.
There is no REAL proof of their lives.
Jesus either.
Those countries are awfully close to the holy land...

Even just a tomb that had 2 of their names in one place and say the body of Joseph (with the coat of many colors), or someone similar, would be nice.
