People have always needed ways to get fresh water for drinking and washing. They have also needed ways to get rid of waste water. That is why the first plumbing systems were built thousand years old. Crete is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. In 1600 B.C., a great palace stood on the Crete. The palace had fresh water, toilets, baths, drains, and sewers. It may also have had a hot – water system. The Cretans used well – fitted clay pipes to bring fresh water to the palace rooms from faraway springs. Stone drains carried away rainwater from the roof and open courts into deep sewers. These sewers were so large that a person could walk inside them. The palace even had stone toilets. They were flushed by rainwater that flowed through the pipes or by water poured in.
The Queen of Crete had her own apartment in the palace with her own bathroom. Her clay bathtub looked much like bathtubs do today. It was painted inside with pictures of tall water grasses. The tub was filled with water brought from a nearby room. The bath water was then emptied into a drain in the floor near the tub. Nowadays, visitors can see the ancient plumbing system that was not equaled until modern time.
