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.


When was roman toilets made?

Some people in Rome used to dig a hole to go to the bathroom and cover it with vinegar/lemon juice. However, there were communal toilets, which historians say were shaped in a circle. It is also said that they had one sponge on a stick, which they passed around to wipe all their bottoms(which isn't very sanitary if you compare with the Chinese empires). They had a system that caused the waste go into the river, called irrigation. The rich had their own separate toilets.
