History (inkubatora) A magazine published in Britain during WWII described an incubator as "a wooden box, hot water, and a curtain".[citation needed] One of the first recorded methods of incubating included using the heat of rotted manure to warm the eggs. The Egyptians had a better method of incubating that used a cylindrical building that had a fire at the bottom of the building. The eggs that were incubating were placed on an inverted cone that was partially covered in ash. The eggs were placed in a woven basket that sat on top of the ashes. The building also had a roof that allowed smoke to escape, but it kept the rain out. In 400 B.C., Aristotle had recorded that women of the time in Greece would tuck eggs under their breast to keep them warm. Mechanical incubating was not invented until the year of 1749 by Reamur in Paris, France. The first commercial machine was made by Hearson in the year of 1881.
