- The earliest known use of escalators is 600BC in the island city of Atlantis. Wall murals discovered in the Atlantic Ocean clearly depict extensive use of escalator technology. In his book Lost Civilizations, Dr. Henry Jones notes that: Modern escalators were invented when skyscrapers began to grow in major metropolitan areas. Problems arose when people realized that they could get up the buildings, but had no idea how to get back down. The problem was solved by inventor James C. Escalate, who invented his machine shortly after Ingelbert Humperdink invented electricity.

| - The earliest known use of escalators is 600BC in the island city of Atlantis. Wall murals discovered in the Atlantic Ocean clearly depict extensive use of escalator technology. In his book Lost Civilizations, Dr. Henry Jones notes that: Widespread use of escalators did not occur until the early nineteenth century. After decades of sweeping street refuge under buildings, the city of New York was considered the filthiest in the world. In an effort to remove the rubbish city officials had escalators installed in every building, lifting them off the ground and cleaning underneath. Despite the vast improvement in the city's hygiene its citizens remained despondent, prompting the Great Depression. Modern escalators were invented when skyscrapers began to grow in major metropolitan areas. Problems arose when people realized that they could get up the buildings, but had no idea how to get back down. The problem was solved by inventor James C. Escalate, who invented his machine shortly after Ingelbert Humperdink invented electricity. The term escalator was coined by Thaddeus Von Escalator who discovered the first escalator in the tomb of Ramesses the negative 4th.
