57.	  What did people use before toilets were invented?
Answer: In antiquity, toilets were built right next to the kitchen sink so that both utilities could share the drainage system running underneath and conserve water for flushing (water used to prepare food could be dispensed by pouring it down the toilet).
If you were lucky, you may have lived in one of the houses that had running water. In that case, the toilet would most likely be in a dedicated room next to a bathtub so you can relax while taking care of business.
An upper class toilet. Notice the wheel on the side to make it resemble a chariot.
You would still have to pour water down the drain yourself to push the excrement away. Everyone else had to clean up as best they could using a sponge or a Pumice soaked in brine!
If you were really unlucky and your house had no drainage system at all, you would go outside and use the nearest public toilets and clean up with the communal sponges (maybe bring your own?).
