FfFfFfFF 58,339 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 According to a China Daily report, the lower parts of a flush toilet estimated to be 2,400 years old have been found in the ancient city of Yueyang in northwestern China. Broken toilet parts, including a twisted pipe, were discovered at the Yueyang archaeological site in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, last summer. For months, researchers pieced them together before disclosing their findings. The toilet consists of a bowl, which was situated indoors, and a pipe that led to an outdoor pit. Servants are thought to have poured water into the bowl every time it was used, explained Liu Rui of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. A “luxury object” such as a flush toilet would only be used by very high-ranking members of society during that time, according to Liu Rui, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

HermioneT 1,998 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Ever since all the AI picture generators emerged, I feel so unsure about news like that: a photo like the one used in the article can be generated so easily (I use the Shutterstock AI at work and this is absolutely doable in some minutes) - and it's the only one. Especially in a country like China an article like that could be faked without bigger hurdles, I think. But in this case I found the researcher and institute in older papers on Google scholar. Maybe it's just me turning paranoid She / hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
