⚙️ Para o mês de Fevereiro, viajamos até c. 3.500 a.C., à antiga Mesopotâmia, com a Civilização Suméria e a invenção da roda.
De simples discos de madeira nasceram novos caminhos, novas trocas e uma verdadeira revolução na forma de viver e trabalhar. A roda simboliza o movimento do tempo e o progresso constante da humanidade — sempre em frente, sempre a evoluir.
