Where did ancient Egyptians use the toilet?

Ancient Egypt used the toilets in a tolle but not a ordinary toilet. --- Ancient Egypt was among the first civilisations to employ running water toilets. This was generally in a back room of the house and had a stream plumbed to run under a grated box in the corner of the room. Where running water was not available they would use a stone box which was slopped out. Another type of toilet was the wooden commode (a chair with a hole in it) which was used when the Pharaoh was out on campaign. It is very likely that the Romans learned what they knew of plumbing from the Egyptians. See the pictures below for photos.
