2banana: the Mayans were no Romans
my small voice: bet that the toilets were not low-flow and destroyed their society!Heh... the Romans used constant flow of water to keep their sewers flowing, and for the rich, to keep their cracks clean.
The Mayans were doing very well for themselves if you’ve ever seen there works. I did while I worked at Tikal. Fascinating structures.
Re Mayan toilets. Now I know what that hole was for - a chultun. Always thought it was for storage. Get that was ancient Mayan poo I stepped in that day.
You want to flush something? Watch a monsoon flush the jungle. There was dry jungle one day. The next day it was a foot deep at the bottom of a 1/4 mile hill. Got trench foot and dysentary from it.
Never wear blue jeans in the jungle. Will give you a rash that would need a blowtorch to dry out.
