Long before the invention of the rain shower head showers were taken by our ancestors when they found the closest water fall and used it to cleanse themselves and reinvigorate after a hard day of chasing down Wooly Mammoths and avoiding Saber Tooth Tigers. During Egyptian times showers were used by the wealthy, but they were not available to the general population and were very crude (water had to be carried to the shower chamber). The Greeks made considerable advancements and were the first civilization to have what we would recognize today as a shower. With their systems of aquaducts and use of lead pipes they were able to pump water in and out of communal shower rooms. The Romans followed suit and until the fall of the Roman Empire its citizens could keep clean and refreshed. But alas, the rain shower head was still centuries away from existance.
From the Middle Ages to the Victorian era hygiene was considered a religious taboo and the practice of showering (and bathing at all for that matter) ignored. In the early 1800's someone in England anonymously brought the shower back to life with the invention of the English Regency Shower and by 1850 reliable plumbing had been introduced to the "modern world". At this time free standing showers were being installed in many homes and with the availability of heated water the shower was well on its way to a comeback.
