historical transportation
Historical transportation refers to the various methods and vehicles used by people to move goods and themselves from one place to another throughout history. Early forms included walking, using animals like horses and donkeys, and simple boats made from wood. As societies advanced, innovations such as the wheel and sailing ships emerged, allowing for more efficient travel and trade.
The development of transportation has significantly shaped human civilization. The invention of the steam engine in the 18th century led to the rise of trains, revolutionizing land travel.
