It was a flush down memory lane.
A 2,400-year-old flushable toilet was discovered in China’s Shaanxi province last summer and revealed this month, reported China Daily.
According to experts, the manual toilet was found in the ruins of a palace located in Yueyang that may have been used as far back as a time in the Warring States period (424 BC) and into the Qin Dynasty (221 to 206 BC).
“It is the first and only flush toilet to be ever unearthed in China,” according to Liu Rui, a researcher from the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
