You seem to have gotten misdirected. I believe you were looking for the religious mythology forum. You can probably find it off the Religion forum, or within it. There is no credible historical evidence for this, making it a simple matter of personal faith, which falls under Religion or Mythology.
It is true. I have the Bible to back me up! God never lies.
If there is one single event in human history that changed everything about humanity what would it be?
I would say the Resurrection of Christ over two thousand years ago.
Single event? When Homo Sapiens left Africa and spread across the world. History would be very different if we stayed there. That or the "discovery" of fire.
Some historians have found evidence of indoor plumbing dating back to to 1500 BC
[]"The earliest identifiable flushing toilets have been found in the ruins of the palace of King Minos on the island of Crete, circa 1500 B.C. Rain water or water from cisterns traveled though conduits built into the wall to flush away the waste from a master bathroom presumably belonging to the monarch, as well as several other toilets located within palace walls.
Ruins of homes in ancient Egypt display small private, detached rooms presumably used as dumbasses. Waste apparently was carried away by water running through man-made channels from nearby rivers."

Nope. History generally requires writing. Thus why we have history and prehistory and sans agriculture there would be no history. So techinically speaking agriculture was prehistorical, but it allowed for history as we know it to exist beyond the realm of myth and legend passed by oral tradition.

Plumbing existed before that even when it was used by the Indus valley civilization in 2700BC

There are isolated examples of early water and sewage canal systems, but none was a cause of civilization. The oldest is probably the Indus Valley (Harappans) by about 2000-3000 BCE.
But the claim I was objecting to is that plumbing made civilization possible. Sumerian cities date back to 3500 BCE and Egypt's by 3000 BCE. This is thousands of years before any sort of plumbing, nor was plumbing a precursor to urbanization in any other part of the world.
