The first known inventor of a rudimentary elevator was Archimedes, who created a simple hoisting device around 236 BC. However, the modern elevator design was significantly advanced by Elisha Otis in the mid-19th century, who invented the safety brake that made elevators safer for public use. Otis's invention marked a turning point in the development of elevators, enabling the construction of taller buildings.
