And we have read in history books, that bikes were invented in the last 200 years in Europe. But this carving does not show a European, it shows an Indian man with a large mustache, and a shawl on the top. His waist-cloth confirms that this is an Indian. Is it possible that bikes were used in India thousands of years ago? Are we looking at evidence of suppressed history?
