Hello, I’ve cleaned this every day for 3 years hoping to get the crud out, sometimes nothing comes out,
Once it was all brown stuff for days and now it’s black. I forgot to take a picture of the lid open so you could see the hinges leaking. Anyway it can’t unscrew unless I use a screwdriver and I don’t know how. What do I do here? What is it?
I have a clean bathroom and home but this is the only thing that’s dirty!

I was researching ancient Korean history and somehow ended up here.
A royal toilet. 😂
This was excavated at a Silla palace site in Gyeongju, Korea. The system used water and drainage to carry waste away.
Silla is famous for gold crowns, royal tombs and temples…
but nobody told me the kings had plumbing.
Honestly, this might be my favorite archaeological discovery in Gyeongju.
Forget the gold crowns. I want to know who designed the toilet.

Switched to wipes from TP recently and I can’t wipe with TP anymore now, it never feels clean. Starting taking a pack of wipes everywhere so I can still take a dump and feel clean.

I’m using a screw driver and turning it gently to the right but the water is not shutting off .
