[QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [QB] Here is some talk about drainage and water supply systems in early africa etc.. How did ancient black Africa handle their sewage and excretory wastes? Did they have any sewage systems? Badu Kwesi quote- [QUOTE] The Kingdom of Kush had sewer systems such as these; [IMG]https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-02797f10623db1fce43dda93c6c5b854-lq[/IMG] [IMG]https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-64de7b3ae70be18b40d452cb1e52a3c2-lq[/IMG] Toilets connected by sewers from Christian Nubia; [IMG]https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-ec901475b436ea217b514d559ff3639d-lq[/IMG] [IMG]https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b995dd4dc73df13abb7674860a24ef83-pjlq[/IMG] Kilwa in East Africa also had indoor toilets during the middle ages. Gao, a major city of the Mali and Songhai Empires was full of flourishing homes with indoor toilets.

Another scholar, Susan Keech Mcintosh, has shed light on the bathrooms and toilets of Djenne-Djenno which were connected by channels of sewers. Thomas Edward Bowdich paid a visit to the Ashanti Empire in 1819, and he was impressed by the flush toilet system on the second floor of this building for example.

He covers a lot about Africa and what I love about him is that he always backs his work with reliable sources.
