Forgotten Innovations of the Minoans

The Minoans invented the first flushing toilets 4,000 years ago and nobody talks about it.

While everyone obsesses over ancient Rome, this Bronze Age civilization on Crete had indoor

plumbing, multi-story apartments, and gender equality that wouldn't exist again for millennia.

Their palace at Knossos featured elaborate drainage systems and bathrooms with terra-cotta

pipes. Then a massive volcanic eruption wiped them out overnight, burying their advanced

society under ash. We spent the next 3,000 years relearning what they already knew.

Makes you wonder what other civilizations we completely forgot existed, doesn't it?
