Torture cruelty? Top 10 Tortures in History Revealed!
Do you know the top 10 most brutal tortures in human history? Many people may refer to ancient corpses or pig pens, but these are nothing more than skins. In order to help you understand more deeply, I have collected a lot of information and analyzed them one by one in the form of rankings, especially the last one, which can be called inhumane.
Time is running out, so let's get down to business.
Tenth, the bronze bull torture instrument, originated from ancient Greece, is a cruel punishment tool. It is rumored that the bronze bull is entirely cast in bronze, similar in size and shape to the real ox, with a hollow interior and doors on the sides.
When the prisoners were convicted, they were put in the bronze ox, and when the side doors were closed, a fire began to be lit on the belly of the ox to heat it. Due to copper's good thermal conductivity, the temperature rises rapidly, making it impossible for the prisoner to escape the fate of being roasted to death.
Ironically, the inventor of this torture instrument became the first person to be punished by the bronze bull.
The Ninth Iron Lady, an instrument of criminal law, resembles the Virgin Mary, about two meters tall, and has a Tibetan inside. Its two doors, to the left and right, are hidden with spikes, which will pierce directly into the victim's body once the prisoner is stuffed into the inner area of the iron beam.
Although the spikes are as thin as a cow's hair, they are extremely painful during the torture, with the victim screaming and sometimes struggling for days before dying. However, due to the lack of records of this torture instrument in historical records, it is impossible to judge whether it really existed.
The eighth punishment is more cruel than beheading, because the execution process is as ruthless as a chess piece. The tortured were tied to a pillar and their limbs were broken to restrain resistance. The rope is then cut, the screams of the tortured person are abruptly stopped, and finally, the executioner uses a sharp knife to peel off the flesh of the victim.
This process, which often lasts for several hours, is pained as the victim watches his flesh dwindle little by little.
The seventh type of torture is called filial piety. It was an extremely cruel form of punishment in European history, used to torture the hands and feet of prisoners. The perpetrators will first hold the prisoners down and then remove their shoes and socks, exposing their feet to the air.
Next, they would apply honey to the prisoner's feet and then release a goat to lick the soles of the prisoner's feet. The goat's tongue has barbs,** and after that, the prisoner's feet will feel extremely itchy, and even those who are not sensitive to the itch will laugh wildly at this terrible itch.
The terrible thing about this punishment is that it causes great harm to the human spirit. The victim will laugh incessantly and on-the-vermire, and as the oxygen in the lungs gradually decreases, their heart will go into cardiac arrest or suffocation, eventually leading to death.
This punishment, which destroys the spiritual will, is in fact equivalent to an intense physical pain that is unbearable.
The sixth type of waterboarding may seem mild, but it is actually extremely cruel. The prisoner only needs to lie down or sit on a flat place, and the body and head are completely immobilized. The upper faucet will drip ice-cold water, and then switch to piping hot water, making people suffer in ** double days.
The speed of the water droplets is artificially controlled, so that the prisoners are always in a state of tension and anxiety, and they are greatly tortured physically and mentally. Although this process may last for days, or even weeks, the inmate cannot obtain any relief.
The executioner would even provide food and drink to keep the prisoner awake and slowly endure the pain. This form of punishment is really cruel and frightening. Next week, we'll talk about the first five punishments.
