A brief history of toilets - Francis de los Reyes

Explore the history of the toilet and how waste management has evolved from from ancient Mesopotamia to modern day. -- On sunny days, citizens of ancient Rome could be found exchanging news and gossip while attending to more urgent business at the public latrines.

Francis de los Reyes shares the history of the toilet. Lesson by Francis de los Reyes, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.
