6 Most Horrific Execution Methods Throughout History

Here is the list of 6 Most Horrific Execution Methods Throughout History :

THE BRAZEN BULL

The brazen bull or the Sicilian bull was the most agonizing punishment technique recorded in the history of humankind. )

The brazen bull was the creative work of the Greeks. I guess if Greeks can give us original thoughts on philosophy and politics, putting the foundation in the Western world for democratic practices, they would also bless us with the most horrific practices that make “tarring and feathering” and “milk and honey” a child’s play. It’s said that when the trap door was reopened, the charred victim’s bones often shined like “jewelry.”

Imagine a pressure cooker the size of a bathtub. You’d be placed inside and the lid latched. Fire is kindled underneath. You soon begin boiling in your own sweat and blood. As you scream at the top of your lungs from the unspeakable pain, your voice would travel through a series of pipes at the bull’s neck and nostrils that would create the bellowing of an infuriated bull. Music to the tyrant’s ears.~

BLOOD EAGLE

The Vikings’ atrocities are known all over the world so much so many people do not want to learn the details and leave them to their dormant imaginations. However, you will get a quick sense of their savagery when you learn what they did to victims they gave the blood eagle ritual. (Smithsonianmag)

Imagine your hands tied spread out. Someone starts cutting a deep incision in the shape of T on your back. He then grabs the two skin flaps and pulls them apart to make it spread like eagle wings. They often tied the “wings” with rope to secure it wide open. However, it’s not over yet. To give your back the texture and look of eagle wings, the executioner would use an axe to break your ribs one by one and pull them out to stretch out as far wide as possible, looking like a spread eagle. You must have passed out by now, not even able to scream from the agonizing pain, but if you have not, sucks to be you. The executioner would then grab your internal organs from behind, including your lungs, and pull them hanging down, in a gory display of pure savagery. (Totalwar)

RAT TORTURE

Imagine a rat stuck to your belly, eating your skin, gnawing, trying to make a hole to get inside your intestines, like Neo’s stomach bug.

Victim was tied up and a small cage was attached to his stomach. A rat was placed inside the cage before heat was applied above the cage so the rat, trying to escape the deadly heat, would gnaw into the victim’s bowels to hide.

Among other places, this torture technique was allegedly carried out in Brazil during the military regime in the 60s-80s.

Also, human rights groups have documented at least one case in which a Chilean woman was tortured by the intelligence forces in 1981. Victim was placed in a room full of live rats during the interrogation, which at leasthad threatened the suspect with rat torture. (Torture Museum)

BAMBOO TORTURE

In her memoir “Hakka Soul,” the Chinese poet and author, Woon-Ping Chin speaks of the Japanese soldiers applying this torture method against her own family.

The bamboo plant has a typical rate of growing up 4 centimeter in an hour. Now imagine you are hogtied over a growing bamboo shoot shoved into your anus and other parts. In a few hours, in which you will be tortured by being restrained so tight, the growing plant would push you upward with pointed tips until your skin and limbs are stressed like the hide stretched out to make a drum. Then the spears start poking you and entering yourbody, giving you a slow and agonizing pain for hours or days. It would usually take the victim a day or more to die suffering an endless pain that would make your soul’s screams reach the high heavens. (Rebelcircus)

SAWED IN HALF

The vicious part of sawed in half is that they put you upside down so your head gets a constant flow of blood and oxygen so you are conscious as long as possible to feel the pain of the saw teeth hacking into your lower body starting from your crotch.

DENAILING

It may or may not be one of the top worst tortures but I’m listing it here because I have a personal story about it. Detailing is pulling out the victim’s nails using pliers. Ouch. The Communist-back government in Afghanistan during the late stages of the Cold War used this torture technique against the mujahideen rebels. It was done to extract information to capture more rebels. I was very young at the time, but the thought of it shattered my spirit.
