Best Answer

The Minoans invented the first flushing toilets among many other things.

Information about the first modern-day flushing toilets:

The first patent for a flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775, sixty years before Thomas Crapper was born. Crapper was awarded 9 patents during his lifetime, 3 of them for improvements to the flushing water closet, but the true inventor was Alexander Cummings. Also, Sir John Harrington had invented a water closet in 1596 with a proper flush, but no water trap.
