Glimpse from the history about Bathtubs

After reading this you will a lot better about being born in this century. Most of the people know these facts but they never visualised or gave importance to it. We hope you will pay heed and understand the things we are trying to convey here. Who don’t enjoy a good soothing bath in their bathtub be it a Stone Bathtub or any other one after a tiring day at office or college. Well I certainly fancy a one after writing for hours and hours. However, very few of us now the story or the history behind the discovery of these amazing stress relievers known as bath tubs or bath. 

Most of the researchers say that, “In 1883, an American man named John Michael Kohler invented the world's first bathtub.” May be its true in certain areas; however, try to surf through the pages of history. There you will get the real story.

If you remember your history class, then you might know that at the time of kings and queens. There used to be a palace for bath where a large area stored water and all the queens and princesses used to take baths. Well these modern marble bathtubs are the descendent of those only. Its true now “The two most common tub sizes are 60 inches long by 30 inches wide and 60 inches long by 32 inches wide. A standard rectangular-shaped tub, however, will have a smaller dimensioned bathing well, measuring 55 inches by 24 inches at the top and narrowing to 45 inches by 22 inches at the very bottom.” And the dimensions of the tubs in golden era were way too large but the semantics are the same.

The idea of bath tubs was generated from that time only. Initially queens, kings, princesses and princes were only people to enjoy the privacy rest of the people had to visit a nearby river or lake to take the bath. Then in the next era only riches went for these luxury stone bathtubs whereas rest of the people had simple taps to take the bath.

The luxury which is available for everyone now was not available for the people in the olden days due to their standard of living. However, now everyone can easily buy these riches without denting their pockets and impacting their lifestyle. I hope you agree now that it is better that you are born now instead of then.
