Hopefully the bathroom quotes above left with with a few laughs and a few thoughts. We know that everyone uses bathrooms, but have they always been the same style?

Actually, bathrooms have evolved quite a bit since the days of ancient Pakistan.

In fact, surviving bathtubs date back to 1700 B.C. in Crete.

These baths in the palace of Knossos are incredibly similar to our modern-day bathtubs and toilets.

The plumbing and piping surrounding these ancient bathrooms resemble how we lay pipe and plumbing in our modern bathrooms.

Different cultures have varying bathing practices. Unfortunately, bathing was not a daily practice for many westerners until the 19th century.

For centuries, bathing was considered a public event made famous by Roman and Greek culture.

It was not until the spread of various global plagues that the use of public baths declined.

Bathhouses were notorious for spreading germs and viruses, so they became less popular.

The flush toilet was invented in 1596 but did not become popular until 1851.
