The oldest mode of transportation

The mode of transportation is closely related to science and technology, which is very obvious in modern society. After man invented lightweight materials, we made airplanes, trains and ships. With these tools, we can not only improve the quantity and speed of transportation, but also ensure the safety of goods and people transported. We can fly halfway around the world in just a few days, and we can also sit at home and buy exotic things.

However, in ancient times, this was a fable, but our ancestors used their wisdom to create wooden boats and carriages, and they could travel all over the north and south and enjoy the great rivers and mountains. There were three main modes of transportation at that time.

First, in the south, rivers crisscross, so people transport them by boat, then to the dock, and then to the destination by ox cart and carriage.

Second, in most parts of the north, only horses and carriages can be used. For long-distance transportation, there are always special horses or caravans.

Third, in desert areas, the mode of transportation is camel.
