Who invented the toilet?

Answer 1

Thomas Crapper

Answer 2

Thomas Crapper may be credited for inventing the mechanical toilet, but you might argue that it was the ancient Egyptians who invented the toilet, the Greeks and Romans also had toilets of some sort.

Answer 3

There is disagreement over who was the inventor of the modern flush toilet, and flushing out the truth is not easy. Many give credit to THOMAS CRAPPER (1837-1910), an English sanitary engineer, for inventing the valve~and~siphon arangement that made our modern toilet possible. Then there are others who maintain that our hero was a nameless MINOAN (a native of ancient Crete) who lived some 4,000 years ago. And then there are those who give the credit to ALEXANDER CUMMING who patented a flushing device in 1775.
But we also have Sir JOHN HARRINGTON who published a pamphlet in the 16th Century called the "Metamorphosis of Ajax" (The title is a pun..."jakes" was a common term for privy) with the full instructions for the construction of a valve closet. Still later GEORGE JENNINGS in the 18th Century made contributions that were considered the ultimate in plumbing mechanisms.

Answer 4

Yes, they are right. But, the Romans had toilets lined up in public, no walls, in concrete. PPL would meet there and do what they needed while socializing with all around them. The disposals would go into the water below and run out into the rivers. All the Europeon countries followed suit and this began the Cholera epidimics. They brought the "technology" over with our ancestors to America and we also had the epidemic. So we thank Thomas Crapper for cleaning things up!
