Chinese archaeologists found a 2,400-year-old toilet box and pipe were discovered at an archaeological site in the Chinese city of Xi’an.
The manual toilet was discovered in the ruins of a palace in Yueyang, which researchers believe may date back to the Warring States period (424 BC) and into the Qin Dynasty (221 BC to 206 BC).
It is the first and only flush toilet to be ever unearthed in China.
