Do you know what the ten most brutal forms of torture in human history are? I'm sure a lot of people talk about ancient carcasses or pig cages, but these are just pediatrics. In order to let everyone understand more deeply, I consulted a lot of information and explained them one by one in the form of a leaderboard, especially the last one, which can be said to be extremely cruel. Without further ado, let's get back to business.
Tenth, the burning of copper cattle According to records, this criminal law originated in ancient Greece and was a tool of execution. According to legend, the copper bull was made entirely of bronze and was similar in size and shape to a real cow, with a hollow interior and doors on the sides. When the prisoner needs to be punished, it is put into the cow, and after the side door is closed, it will start to light a fire on the cow's belly to heat. Due to the good thermal conductivity of copper, it will not be long before the temperature inside the copper bull rises rapidly, and violators will be scalded to death, but there is no other way but to watch themselves being roasted alive. Ironically, the first person to use it with the copper bull torture device was precisely the inventor of this criminal law tool,
The Ninth Iron Lady. It is a penal instrument that looks like the shape of the Virgin Mary. It is about two meters tall and is full of people inside. All right. There are two doors in front of the cavity, left and right, but the prisoner is stuffed into the inner area of the iron beam during the execution. Once the doors on both sides are closed, many protruding spikes pierce directly into the victim's body. Because the spikes are extremely slender, they will be extremely painful in the process of being tortured, but in fact, the people inside will not lose their lives immediately, so they will continue to emit various piercing screams, and sometimes even struggle for several days before dying completely. However, since there are not many records of this torture device in the history books, it is difficult to judge whether this torture device is legendary or real.
Eighth, compared to beheading, I don't know how many times to step on. This is one of the cruelest death sentences in human history, also known as pawns. During the execution, prisoners are first tied to a pillar, breaking their limbs to prevent them from resisting, then cutting the rope to stop them from screaming in pain, and finally the executioner will cut off the victim's flesh with a sharp knife. In the process, victims often endure hours of pain and watch themselves have less and less flesh.
Seventh, filial piety, which is a kind of torture in Europe, completely destroying the hands and feet of prisoners. Press and hold, then take off your shoes and socks so that your feet are completely exposed, and apply honey to your feet. Then he took a goat and let it lick the soles of the prisoner's feet. Because the goat's tongue has barbs, it will be extremely itchy after being licked, and even insensitive people will laugh wildly because they can't stand that terrible itch. The terrible thing about this punishment is the mental pain. The victim will itch unbearably, and after the person continues to laugh wildly, the lungs will have less and less oxygen, eventually leading to cardiac arrest or suffocation. In essence, this punishment for destroying the spiritual will is no less than intense physical suffering.
The sixth drip is not bloody or scary. Prisoners only need to sit or lie in a flat place and then fully immobilize their body and head. There will be a faucet directly above the hose, and the water will drip onto his forehead. Because of the rapid and slow drip speed control, he switches back and forth between ice water and hot water, and the recipient's spirit will always be in a tense state, and this sense of restlessness will continue to increase. Mental anguish caused by dripping water. For ordinary people it is simply unbearable. But from execution to death, the process is extremely long, ranging from a few days to dozens of days. The executioners even gave the prisoners food and drink to keep them awake at all times and slowly enjoy the torture. As you can imagine, this punishment is really cruel. Well, today we will talk about the top five in the next issue.
