Located on the island of Crete and built by the advanced Minoan civilization around 1700 BC, the Palace of Knossos contains remarkable technological innovations far beyond its time. One of its most impressive features was an advanced plumbing system that included something truly extraordinary: a working flush toilet with a wooden seat.
This toilet was connected to a complex network of drainage pipes that carried waste away from the palace an engineering feat that would not be repeated until the modern era. The drainage system also managed rainwater and distributed clean water throughout the complex, demonstrating the Minoans' remarkable understanding of hydraulics and sanitation.
