Few people realise that the first indoor flushing toilets appeared in Minoan Crete around 2800 BC
but for millennia they were deliberately not adopted into widespread use as people preferred to have reeking chamberpots filled to the brim, ready to be emptied on any carol singers.
When Plato relayed the story of Atlantis he was probably inspired by stories of the volcanic eruption on the island of Thera (now Santorini) around 3500 years ago. The Minoans were an advanced culture devastated by the eruption and the tsunami it caused.
