Funny, that this Donetsk, where wheel was found, is a small miners town in Rostov region of Russia, not a capital of Donetsk People Republic everybody know about today. However, author of the article at thearchaeologist.org states that Kasatkin letter was translated from Ukrainian, which was impossible even for city of Donetsk that was in Ukraine at the time, not talking about Russian town of Donetsk near Rostov. :) It is funny, because when you are trying to look as a more honest scientist than official dudes, but for some unknown reason mix and miss important scientific details (and exact location of the arcaeology finding is extremely important thing), then your whole alternative theory began to look miserably. When archaeologist don't care and don't have any clue about geography of discovery, then it is obviously very shitty archaeologist, not worthing any trust.
Honestly, I think that such "mistakes" in nearly all "alternative" things are intentional. Officials perfectly know that there are a tons of things that does not fit into official version, so to discredit all that findings they intentionally create such articles with "mistakes" about uncomfortable things and spread them in the circles of alt-history fans. And then it is very easy to point at that intentional mistakes and use them to discredit all alternative views.
And taking in account that such "mistake" appeared in process of translating local Russian sources for wider public, I think that it is a job of some international agency or structure. It looks centralized and seem to control most paths of spreading information about inconvinient findings, discoveries and all that stuff.
How many popular alternative things many people here know about are distorted, twisted, garbaged by such entities?
Question everything, check everything by yourself, it is the only way to get to the truth, not reposting some articles from somewhere.
