CRAP !!
This was one of those myths that just won't go away. here was, in fact, a Thomas
Crapper from England, and he was actually a plumber-a rather famous one ! He served
as the Royal Sanitary Engineer for several members of the British Royalty, but he didn't
invent the modern crapper.
Seated toilets with drainage systems date back to 2500 B.C.
The first valve-type flush toilet was introduced in 1738 by a man named J.F. Brondel. Of
course, the "water closet" had been invented 150 years earlier by John Harrington, and
the valve toilet would undergo many serious revisions before it came to resemble the
modern bathroom fixture we use today.
