I always pictured Ezekiel as the village doper. He's dropped a few hits of 'shrooms or taken a few tokes of whatever and there he goes to wake folks up and tell them about the wheel. Imagine the conversation with the village folks.

"Hey, Zeke, what it is?"
"Man, I just saw this really cool wheel in the air. All sparkly and shiny."
(aside in a whisper) "He's been into the mushrooms again. Don't lend him your chariot. (aloud) So, uh, Zeke, was it real high up or more at eye level?"
