The combination of not only burning, but the full body contact to the heated metal, and on top of that being in a pitch black tiny space, and the thought of people getting enjoyment out of your screams for help. When I found this torture method a few weeks ago I couldn’t sleep that whole night thinking that human beings had actually died that way and someone was sick enough to invent it. It’s a holo metal bull with a door on the side big enough for someone to be put into and shut, and there’s a some kind of horns that go from the inside out the nostril of the bull to turn the victims screams into the sound of a bull. A fire would be lit below the bull to slowly heat the inside of the bull.

Not so fun fact: When flaying was done by someone skilled, your skin was removed from the bottom up, concluded by removing all the skin on your face and head. It's referred to as "degloving". Often this was done in front of a mirror so the victim could see their own skull with eyes in the sockets. Their eyelids came off with the skin so they couldn't blink or close their eyes. They spend the next hours or days staring at their own skeleton and skull. The mental horror of the sight is unimaginable and a worse torture than any physical pain?

One of the few people to not give information while tortured with the rack was Anne Askew, a Tudor woman who was accused of being a Christian heretic (for reading the Bible to the poor and illiterate, and for asking to divorce an abusive husband), and she refused to give the names of others to make it stop. And they didn’t go easy on her, as Henry the 8th bizarrely had it out for her and then had her carried to the stake (as she couldn’t walk) to be burned.

The Boats is also called scaphism. Everything I have ever studied regarding crucifixion maintains individuals did not just hang by their arms because if such were the case, said individuals would have died within minutes as a result of positional asphyxia. (Think back to hanging from the monkey bars when you were a kid. Remember how if you just hung from the bars it was very difficult to breathe?) The torturers needed to keep the condemned alive to suffer. In order to accomplish this, a peg or small ledge was placed beneath the feet so that the knees were slightly bent. This allowed the crucified individual to take pressure off their arms by pushing themselves up by their feet. This so-called ledge would only be large enough for one foot however, and since the feet were tied so that one foot was atop the other, the individual would be unable to alternate between feet, thus putting twice the pressure and strain on one foot and leg. Eventually, the individual would run out of the energy needed to push himself up by his feet in order to continue to breathe, and I think we all know what happens when a human can no longer get oxygen into their body. Oh, and fyi: crucifixion still happens today.

But I don't think that's evil *enough.* Hmm... okay, stay with me, now... how about if we make them *think* they're getting a bit of relief by placing a ledge under their feet to rest on, see? Dangle that false hope in front of them. But ah ha! we'll tie their feet in such a way that forces their weight onto one leg. This will not only exhaust them while prolonging their pain at the same time, but we get to inflict some grade-A psychological torture, as well!" **Insert evil supervillain laugh**

They did realise it. It was often used to silence women who had a mind of their own, and proved to be problematic. They knew there was no chance of their survival but by accusing them of witchcraft, they had a "legitimate" (according to their twisted religion) means to deal with them.

You actually forgot about the blood eagle. It's a torture method used by old nordic people at the peak of the viking age. In that torture, a person would be kneeled and then their back cut open, ribs pulled to the front and lungs would be left hanging over the victim's shoulders. If a victim didn't make any noise, they would go to Valhalla. It was used only for persons that had some significance (as in a Jarl or a king). It was the last chance for that person to die glorious death.

About the breaking wheel: In the german region where I come from, it was common for towns and cities to have a so-called "gallow's hill" where death sentences would be carried out (many of those places still bear names such as "gallow's hill" or similar). As the most common practice in the region besides hanging was the breaking wheel, the people there developed their own (literal) spin on it: They would break the delinquents limbs with the wheel, and then weave him into the spokes and tie him up. After that, the wheel with the person on it would be pushed over the hill's edge and rolled down again and again until the sentenced person would be dead.

I've always thought the obliette is the worst way to go. Put yourself in the headspace of being dropped into a hole not big enough to stand, and not long enough to lay down. Sharp rocks dig into you and you are put into a slurry of water and feces. The grate over the top is directly over your head. Occasionally the filthiest water imaginable pour into the space and you hold your face up to the grate to prevent drowning. The water can't be drank but as dehydration sets in you drink the slurry, making you as sick as you've ever been. Weeks in you feel sharp sticks pushing into your back and after several days of attempting to move the sharpe point you finally manage to pull it above the filth and see that it's actually rotting human bones and you realize the slurry you have been living in has been the decomposing corpse of the last man who has been put in. You cannot sleep without jolting awake when your head lowers into the horrid slurry and you breath it in. Hours feel like days, days feel like months. You go mad screaming to be released or killed but quickly realize you will never see or hear another human ever again. You eventually die from dehydration and infection from your body marinating in a soup of urine, feces, and human decomposition. By the time you die, you've gone so mad that you cannot even remember that you had a life before this hole. This is all you know anymore. In reality you aren't even really killed, and yet there is no chance you will survive. During your psychotic breaks from reality you fantasize about the sweet relief of being burned to death or hanged.

Best description comes from the Wikipedia article for tarring and feathering: "On August 19, 1918, amidst anti-German sentiment during World War I, German-American farmer John Meints (misspelled Meintz) was taken from his home in Luverne, Minnesota and driven to the border with South-Dakota. There, masked locals whipped him, threatened to shoot him, and tarred-and-feathered him, forcing him to cross the border and threatening to hang him if he returned. Meints named 32 of the men involved in a lawsuit, but they were acquitted, with the judge instructing the jury that the evidence strongly supported his disloyalty. Meints later won an appeal and settled out of court in 1922."

Given the long and varied history of man's inhumanity to man, it's a miracle we've arrived at a situation where this level of cruelty is unimaginable. It certainly lends perspective to today's problems and gives hope that things can and will get better.

It's the first time I've heard someone recount the different awful ways of deadly torture with epic, calming and joyful music in the background.

It pains me to see that human beings would do this to EACH OTHER! Why would we make each other suffer gruesome, terrible fates for anyone else's gain!?

Information about crucifixion: in European languages, the word “hand” means “everything from the wrist to the fingertips,” which explains the artistic convention of showing the nails through the palms.. However, if a person were crucified that way, the nails would rip through the hands and the body would just fall off the cross. The NT was written in Greek, in which language the word “hand” means “everything from the elbow to the fingertips,” which means that the nails would be driven next to the wrist between the radius and the ulna. That would support the weight of the body. Suffocation occurred because in that position, heaving up and down to breathe gradually pulls the muscles off the rib cage. Historical records of people being taken down from cross even shortly after being crucified relate that they died shortly afterwards-they were not able to breathe.

One of the horrors of being human: our incredible capacity for emotion, passion, and intelligence...but being so fragile and weak, able to die so easily, and doing things like this to other people.
