You honestly believe it was the Europeans' advanced knowledge of wheels that ended the Mayans or any of the Native civilizations?
Europeans were aided greatly in the germs they brought more than anything. Not to mention, the Mayans encountered by the Spanish were not at the height of their power. Drought, amongst other things, contributed to their initial decline.

yes, I do realize this, but I do believe that even if the diseases didn't help, gun powder and cannons and the such would have eventually killed them off. The europeans only had gun powder because of trade routes with china that were possible in large part because of the wheel.
