The oldest flush toilet in the world that only kings could use

Archaeologists in China claim to have discovered the world's oldest flush toilet.

This toilet is believed to be around two and a half thousand years old when China was ruled by the Han Dynasty.

The scientists made this discovery in the Shayan city in China's Shaanxi province, which is important from the point of view of archeology and where the first terracotta warriors have also been discovered.

According to Chinese state media, the broken parts of the seat and an accompanying flush pipe were discovered by a research team last summer.

Lui Rui, a researcher at the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told China Daily that this is the first such flush toilet discovered in China.

Importantly, access to flush toilets is still not easy in China. At the start of his tenure, current Chinese President Xi Jinping promised to revolutionize the countryside.

Experts say the discovery was made when they were excavating two buildings in the ruins of a palace in the ancient Yui Veng complex.

He says that 'all the people present there were surprised at this discovery and then everyone laughed.'

A LUXURY

Details of the discovery have been released only last week, after which there has been a lot of interest in China. This discovery has helped shed light on the world of the nobles of ancient China.

Researchers say the toilet was a luxury for the time and is believed to have been reserved only for China's emperor or quite important officials.

The researchers say that employees would have to flush the toilet every time they use it.

Scientists are trying to get waste particles from this toilet to find out what the people of that time ate.

This research is part of an effort to understand the way people lived and built their cities during the ancient Chinese empire.

This discovery is also interesting because the invention of the modern-day flush toilet is still credited to Thomas Cooper of Great Britain in 1860, but some historians say that Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain used a flush toilet before that. were

Sir John Harrington, Queen Elizabeth I's son-in-law, invented the water closet for her in 1592, which revolutionized the use of the toilet.

In 1775, watchmaker Alexander Cummings installed an S-shaped pipe under the toilet to reduce odors.

The toilet design used today was created by Mr. Creeper who used a U-shaped pipe instead of an S.

It should be noted that there was a time when there was no such thing as a toilet in the world and people used to go outside the house.

In many places a vessel was also used.

And in the country where the modern toilet was designed, there was a time when people used to empty their toilets out the window of their houses.
