Who made the first stairs?

But it was in Mesopotamia and Egypt that the earliest straight single flight of stairs appeared, built to provide access to upper floors (Templer, p. 19). Later, during the period of classical antiquity, Greco-Roman complex staircases started being built – spiral, zigzag and double-riser staircases came into being.

When was the first staircase made?

Ancient Stairs

Ancient settlements that have been excavated, such as Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan, have stairs featured as part of the structure, and it is believed that they were built around 2500 BCE. That means that there is physical evidence of the architectural element of stairs dating back to at least 4000 years ago.
