Not Thomas Crapper! Though he did invent the cystern ballcock that is still used today.

The flushing toilet was invented by John Harington around 1590.

He was a coutier of Elizabeth the First of England, and a celebrated writer and poet of his time - he got into a lot of trouble, often, with political messages not-so-well hidden in his poems and essays. He famously quothed, "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

What are the Egyptian toliets called?

Egyptian toilets are commonly referred to as "squat toilets" or "squatting toilets." These toilets consist of a hole in the ground, often surrounded by ceramic or porcelain, and require users to squat over them instead of sitting. They are widely used in many parts of Egypt and other countries, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. Some modern facilities may also have Western-style sitting toilets alongside squat toilets.
