Excerpts
When: 2,000-1,600 BC
Where : Minoan Civilization current day Rome
How: System of Toilets with severs and Drainage system
Short Story :
In the ancient world people
were capable of designing quite sophisticated toilets. They were having toilets
inside and outside of homes. Poor people made do with a wooden stool with a hole
in it. Underneath was a container filled with sand, which had to be emptied by
hand. On the island of Crete the Minoan civilization flourished from 2,000 to
1,600 BC. They too built drainage systems, which also took sewage. Toilets were
flushed with water. The Romans also built sewers to collect rainwater and
sewage.
Toilet
In The Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages toilets were
simply pits in the ground with wooden seats over them. However in the Middle
Ages monks built stone or wooden lavatories over rivers. At Portchester Castle
in the 12th century monks built stone chutes leading to the sea.
When the tide went in and out it would flush away the sewage.
In Medieval castles the toilet was
called a garderobe and it was simply a vertical shaft with a stone seat at the
top. Some garderobes emptied into the moat.
In the Middle Ages wealthy people
might use rags to wipe their behinds. Ordinary people often used a plant called
common mullein or woolly mullein.
