Ancient Toilets

In the ancient world, people were capable of designing quite sophisticated toilets. Stone age farmers lived in a village at Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands (Scotland). Some of their stone huts had drains built under them and some houses had cubicles over the drains. They may have been inside toilets. https://localhistories.org/a-history-of-toilets/
