The legendary Tenochtitlan in Mexico was built with no knowledge of what?
Although the wheel was invented more than 7,000 years ago, the native inhabitants of North America never used it. They built majestic cities with no knowledge of such an important invention!
Perhaps Aztecs just had no need to use the construction as they had no domesticated cattle and without the help of animals one could not pull a heavy wheeled carriage.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

They knew of the wheel, just didnt use it, that means that the "no knowledge" part of the question, is wrong.

Although I correctly guessed the answer, I need to do more research on the Tenochtitlan AND the Aztecs! I love learning new things!

Carmine-James Pitaniello, Also, the disk (see Aztec calendar photo with the question) was not used as a wheel.

Cortez had a mere handful of men in his expedition, but he had thousands of native allies whom had been enslaved by their Aztec overlords.
