The first recorded elevator was designed by Archimedes around 236 B.C. in ancient Greece, using a simple system of pulleys and ropes. However, the modern elevator, featuring a steam-powered mechanism, was developed in the 19th century, with Elisha Otis introducing the safety elevator in 1852, which significantly advanced elevator technology and safety. This innovation paved the way for the widespread use of elevators in buildings.
