I like how medieval people were so creative with torture methods but couldn't solve hygiene issues
i hate people in general

Bro i swear
Priorities am i right
Flaying legit has to be the worst way of dying I have ever seen, Imagine getting your skin slowly sliced apart with Small cuts usually taking Hours if not an entire day until you are left skinless with all of your muscles and tissues unprotected by the skin will result in even more pain and suffering until day later when you are finally put down
Trial by fire was bad to
It doesnt take many cuts! Skin comes straight off the body once it's already been cut and you can grab on to it! That's why it's so easy to skin animals when hunting.
@@stevejobs257 Every Torture/execution methods is horrible
Boiling alive is really bad too
Scaphism is the worst I know of.
I can't even comprehend inflicting this much pain on another person, the fact that this was common back then is even more insane. We're definitely lucky to be born in this time, though I know there's still torture in some countries.
"Back then" 1915 Armenian genocide.
60 years after slavery was abolished USA.
You won't be avle to comprehend it. We are born in a completely different world. The world is an extremely complicated place. It's not as cut and dried as you'd like to think. Your environment sculpted what you perceive to be normal, good, or evil. When you're born into an extremely brutal world, these things aren't as shocking anymore.
@@pfhrmb yeah that was almost a hundred years ago so it classifies as "back then" weird how you managed to shove in slavery there. Surprised you don't have a blm profile pic.
Hamas and ISIS want to bring this back into today's world. Horrible.
I got my pinky finger flayed the other day by accident, although only about 2 inches.
It was so painful I thought I was going to die.
I cant imagine being flayed more than that!
it's incredible how sick humanity is
Agreed...
Well, half of humanity.

Actually, nasty tortures are still being performed today.
But they're not being showed at all to the world.
North Korea camp is a good example.
I'm loving the absolutely cheery, optimistic, hopeful, and "epic" music playing in the background while the narrator goes on about some of the most sadistic torture methods concocted by mankind. Great choice there, guys.
LOL
The heroic music made this video absurd.
Don’t ever disrespect professor info
@@patmagh Yes, it's horrible. Reminds me of some quest video game music.
Yea they should play BeeGees' Stayin Alive. Or Pearl Jams Alive.
The witch drowning always confused me. Don't they realize that if the woman in question really had magic, she wouldn't have been caught in the first place?
It was no escape: sunk = innocent, but they waited to long, until person will be floated to the surface: floating was guilty. But some moment the body will come up, mostly after the person had drowned :(.
Women who where independent, different, smart etc were called witch. They were a threat to the men.
There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
- Are there? What are they? Tell us. - Do they hurt?
- Tell me, what do you do with witches?
- Burn them!
- And what do you burn, apart from witches?
- More witches!..............Wood!
- So why do witches burn?
- 'Cause they're made of wood?
- Good!
- And how do we tell if she is made of wood?
- Build a bridge out of her.
- But can you not also make bridges out of stone?
- Oh, yeah.
@@flixtrue6300 Around 10-15% of all people executed for witchcraft were men. Most accusers and those having made written complaints against supposed witches were women.
The patriarchy was built and maintained by both men *and* women. Not all, but most.
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.
@@flixtrue6300 No they weren't. Most accusations came from other women. Just like today, a woman's greatest enemy usually is another woman.
The more you hear about these brutalities, the less surprised I am, humans can be such sadistic and evil creatures, torturing others based purely on belief, rather than a proper system of evidence based trials, even today...
ye
Absolutely this is actually really depressing if you really think about it.. these poor people just think about it.. years ago even now.. our mother's brother sisters daughter's sons are selves could have experienced this type of torture simply for being Jewish being Christian being Protestant being the "wrong" color skin or basically anything that disagrees what the majority believes in.... Weather is out of fear or they actually truly believe in it... In all honesty is kind of disgusting and it's kind of a truth about evil humans can be. Why the f*** can't we just f****** be nice to each other and treat others like we would like to be treated... Imagine if that Babylonian rule and eye for an eye or true?! When it comes to this type of stuff!? I don't know I'm sorry this is just depressing me..
This is why Earth should have had a second asteroid hit it a long time ago
@@gdawg1585 no, we can agree that we do terrible things but we dont want to die, except you apparently
Even your response implying it’s ok to torchure after a proper system of evidence and trials is sadistic and evil
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?
You’re correct but we do the front side of each limb first before moving on to the backside of the limb. Once to the neck area we go head down that’s the only time we go down. I done 4 by myself now.

"I didn't do it" - gets slowly tortured. "Okay okay, i did it, even though i know i didn't" - gets killed anyways. You just can't win.
thats why in my religion, in order for someone to be completely proven guilty, is by having proof, AND at least, 4 eyewitness, and those 4 eyewitness have their requirement, which are strict, they need to be completely trusted by everyone, known to be a good unproblematic and likeable people, basically everyone best friend

Imagine going through that. It makes you think about the fact that many people have gone through this and that's crazy, you can't even start to think how agonizing that would be (I would definitely expect the crime rates to be lower, no matter their circumstances) .
Think about the fact that there are people RIGHT NOW going through such things.
It’s hard to imagine the mindset people had back then but i guarantee if we were living in those times we would have the same mindsets which is crazy to think about
We still do. Look at all the horror movies for instance saw. People are still coming up with horrible way to inflict pain on others we are just more civilized that in most cases we don't actually act on these things we just come up with them and put them in movies and guess what we all go and see them. Humans have a weird obsession with pain. I wish I knew the psychology behind it! 😮 horrifying and yet fascinating.
@@themagicksocietyyou have an intersting point. They used to go to public executions or Collosseum for entertainment. And now we see movies with this kind of things as entertainment.
So… we are just the same, but now we don’t have to do these things in real life?
@@EM-wr9yy I don't think so. There's a small number of people who enjoy the gore. A little more that enjoy the violence. But the vast majority of people tend to enjoy the storyline and spectacle. Even in the coliseum you mentioned, the event organizers made a lot of effort to create spectacle and some kind of "storyline" (a bit like modern 'wrestling'). And before formal 'civilizations', ancient tribes typically entertain themselves with some kind of weed and telling folk tales around campfires and dancing... etc... Even the public executions often have some kind of spectacle building sets and stuff. Not saying that some people don't like violence or are fascinated by pain, but I think more than anything else, people like spectacles, anything out of the ordinary.
@@Urza26 Yeah, that could be! I agree with what you said, but I still find it weird how many of these “spectacles” are centered around pain. The violence makes it more interesting… And I am even more impressed by how creative humans are when it comes to creating pain. For example: different methods of tourture. I could never be able to come up with such crazy ideas of torturing somebody! But it seems like some humans just have it in their blood.
People still believe in religion, lol. We haven't changed much at all, and I doubt we ever will.
Human evil is easily the most disgusting thing in all of this planet's history. I could never imagine myself ever wanting to hurt someone or watch someone be tortured in any of these ways or even close. Every single one of these punishments is incredibly cowardly and grotesque and I really am unable to understand what in the world goes in the head of someone capable of these things. Absolute sociopath monsters
Yeah I’m having similar thoughts myself. How did this happen? I had to stop after one minute and sixteen seconds because I was in fair danger of going lightheaded with the eventual possibility of fainting.
I’ve come across some pretty nasty ways people have died but it was usually accidental such as radiation sickness and the fate of the first officer of UPS Flight 6 from Dubai. But this? I just don’t know.
Really? The fact that "people" like rapists and pedophiles exists warrants it perfectly. I can think of plenty of reasons why I would want to do something like these punishments to someone, or worse.
@@none-ro9dz No, that doesn't make you any different than them. Nobody has the right to torture anyone. They tortured their victims, but that does not give you the right to torture them back. Just lock those wild animals away forever, with no chance of getting out. Period.
Sometimes I don't understand how people can be so cruel. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, it's just hard to watch a living thing being put on these torture methods
I think it's a perfect way to create obedience

The level of creative energy for torture was something to behold. Imagine our progress today if we used this energy back then to create and build, rather than to torture.
“My lord, I think I just discovered electricity!”
“Shut up Johnson. We don’t have time for that. We’re brainstorming how best to remove the skin from a thief.”
I could only watch some of this video but it is extremely well made. It gives you an appreciation for modern civilization.
Imagine the fear and panic people in medieval times must have felt of being wrongfully accused and mercilessly tortured to death… I mean, it's scary enough to think about being wrongfully accused now, but the torture devices they used back then must have dramatically intensified the fear. I think people really need to have and receive more compassion.
Or being wrongfully accused and torturtued so badly you confess to a crime you didn't commit to end the agony only to be sentenced to a horrible death like being boiled alive or hung drawn and quartered
Just think! If it hadn't been for the Catholic Church and Inquisition we might never have heard of the majority of these methods of torture! AMEN?
the fact that no one is punished for the war crimes and consentration camps by the US says a lot about that nation
@yt That's simply not true
@yt because it was checked multiple times. Didn't work then and doesn't work now
Brazen Bull should easily be number 1, idk how it didn’t even get mentioned. 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.
thb, I am just surprised the info graphics show hasn't mentioned amputation as a punishment yet.
To be fair though, there's no legitimate reliable sources that say the bull was even used outside of stories and legends. Most notably the ironic twist that the inventor be the one roasted in it but it was never actually recorded to have been used against any criminals.
This sounds terrible,
Yeah I was waiting for it too.

I couldn't finish the video because of it.
Side note: in tarring and feathering, tar was actually rarely used because it was rather expensive. More often than not a different sticky substance was used because the point of tarring and feathering isn't torture or death, it's humiliation.
Oh my god, that’s horrible. But also don’t give *them* any ideas.
Actually it was usually fatal not only because of the severe burns but because of the inability for the skin to breathe resulting in lack of oxygen in the blood.

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 Tudor Court treated any dissident as potentially dangerous. The fear was that the religious dissidents would set fire to Church of England property and cause riots. In some cases they were indeed correct!

One thing I’ve learned about humanity is that it doesn’t really matter wether you are good or evil. Everyone is obsessed with torturing each other in some way

@@therainman7777 Put your thinking cap on bud. You're actually doing it right now. You're trying so hard to make yourself seem intellectually superior to me and everyone else here while likely referring to yourself as a good person and if you felt you have proven yourself right, you'd get a high off of it. You can't even have this debate without being aggressive about it.
As an autistic, this is a pretty terrifying reminder of the cruelty of humanity, how easy it is for a society to turn on an individual, and how happily humans can accept the most horrific acts as long as it's not happening to them.
Kinda reminds me of cancel culture. Humans will always get away with as much as they can.
Yes we as humans are the real monsters
"The Dark Ages" means the "obscured/unknown ages" like "dark side of the moon" and has nothing to do with it being a particularly brutal time in history, we just don't know much about it because a lot of records & such were destroyed.
also they didn't record as much in the early centuries of the middle ages since they needed more pragmatic skills at the time and place

The funny thing is, most nations had Chroniclers at the time that recorded who was King and what the major events were. The Era is misnamed. Because we know so much about the period, perhaps it is better to call it the "Post Roman Germanic period" or "the Era of Charlemange"
@@26michaeluk i wouldnt look into someones comment as anything factual. they have literally nothing to gain or lose but its definitely fun to troll.

Not always and not every culture. Not in Africa and mostly by religious groups. These were punishments as well, do you find it hard to follow the rules of society? Maybe you should be concerned.
Thanks for the information, now I know what to do to my siblings if they annoy me
It truly is horrible, the desire for bloodlust, the wish to cause as immense a level of pain as possible, the lack of empathy and the overall cruelty that mankind can, to such an extent, inflict on itself. The very fact that any human being would desire to inflict such pain and cause so much human misery that it would take hundreds of deaths to compare to and be of the same level of cruelty of this is quite an excruciating and demoralizing fact in itself. What's more, the more of this type of cruelty there is, the more desire for revenge and "justice" there is, and thus as much, if not more, pain is dealt in return, leading to a never-ending truly horrible system that makes one wish humanity would reform from these terrible methods. There is no point to such, and this method of cruelty aught to be anniealted at once, and should never have happened in the first place, in the name of all that we hold close and dear.

Out of all the tortures on that list, I would have to say the boats is the absolute worst 2:12. You're literally being slowly eaten from the outside and inside while laying in your own excriment.

Ever heard of advertisements??
Lol, _nothing_ is “free”
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.
The boat used by the persians is called scaphism, they also would sometimes put people into the trunks of trees and follow the same procedure. But it was used for punishments towards heinous criminals and vengeful situations from what I read. There was a telling of 1 instance where a person was still alive and ants were crawling along their eyeballs as they were dying. Brutal
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.
This is horrible. And that it still happens today is worse
Bruhhhh…brutality reaching its peak
It's wild to think that for every type of torture there was one guy whose job it was to sit down and think of ways to make it even more horrific, right down to a science. "Like okay, so we came up with this torture where you nail someone up by their wrists and leave them to die... good. Great. 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**
I think we can agree that a majority of tortures are worse than death

What about death by snoo snoo ?

We must all be grateful that we live in a rather peaceful time. Of course loads of people get killed, but in most cases it's a matter of ending someone's life quick and efficiently, and means of extensive torture are probably only still part in the most criminal communities existing in this society.
If a normal person dies a painful death these days, they are probably surrounded by a team of educated people, trying their best to prevend the horrible passing.
There was a torture method where people would pour molten lead down the accused's mouth.
There's a similar one where they'd take what looked like a baby rattle with holes and fill it with lead and heat it up to get the lead molten and shake little beads molten lead onto the faces and bodies of the accused.
There was one guy who had loved his wealth and they melted his gold and poured it down his throat
or molten gold just for a little "spice"

The sarcasm of his pitch at the end, was hilarious. "What about the children?" What the narrator was basically saying: If you guys think this video was bad, ohhh, I got another one for you. ;)
Except when he talks about political and geopolitical topics.
I honestly cannot understand how is it possible to even think about something like this. Humans must be the worst specie that exists on this Earth.
I remember reading, with the rack, that sometimes, they didn't break and pop bones and joints right away. Sometimes they would leave them stretched to the very limit for hours, then send them back to their cell, where all of their joints would get severely sore and enflamed from the stress. So before they ever got to the rack the next day, they hadn't been severely damaged, but would be in terrible pain before the session would even start. So it would be psychological torture just walking there from the soreness, and it gets them imagining how bad it would be if they had gone any further. This would often get people to talk before they'd even break a bone. I'm not sure what instances they would do it this way, but I'm assuming possibly where you couldn't afford to waste a productive human and wanted to get info from them while leaving open the possibility of being able to still leave them a productive member of society if they were willing to talk early.
From a human standpoint, I can't understand how anyone could subject another human to any of these. I've never understood why crowds would show up to watch this happen, either. I can't think of a crime that would warrant this kind of treatment. Man's inhumanity to man never ceases to surprise me.
Because they had nothing better to do, it was their only entertainment
It’s the same thing as EVERYONE watching/looking through their windows to see the aftermath of a massive car accident! Or how Football player’s are kinda like modern day gladiators! 70+ thousand packed into a stadium to watch violence 👀.
the first step in that path is to dehumanize the victim. They no longer see it as human but as subhuman, an enemy that is the incarnation of everything they hate. For that point on it gets easier. Also have in mind that they are people who are actual psychopaths and don't care about other people's suffering, or even enjoy it.

Well that makes perfect sense ! Why don't we continue this practice? After all god knows what he is doing otherwise how could his church become so rich.

European here, I really wish we were known for better things than wars and violence.
18:43 "Someone call PETA" got me 🤣
Knowing what I was in store for there's NO FREAKING WAY I'd be taken alive for these torturous punishments...
you'd be overwhelmed and overpowered, they would indeed take you alive
Yeah if I had a weapon I'm not using it on them
Man, I can't finish this video right now. After the water/boiling water/sewage funnel torture thingy I'm... wow. Gonna go watch cat videos...
Me too...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it makes you feel any better the last one is you just sit in a white room
Smart move!
sewage funnel torture is that being locked in same room with swedish ''delicacy'', surtrömming?
I read that crucifixion was so common that they wouldn't even make a full cross, they would just attach a beam to a tree. And that nailing wasn't even as common, they would just tie you using rope. Some even theorize that Jesus was probably crucified on a tree, though the nails were probably accurate.
The yubitsume is also not as graceful as you describe. In the account of one yakuza member, he used a hammer and chisel.
10:57 What is the source for impaling of the Armenian civilians? I couldn't find any reliable source.
I can tell you who not to ask: Turks.
During crucifixion, if the condemned person was deemed to be "taking too long" to die, the executioners would sometimes break the legs of the crucified. The shock on the body, after hours or even days of hanging, would generally mean quick albeit unbelievably painful death
One man's crucifixion however saved us all and we should all remember that fact.
lol fact...good one
Also the "crosses" were X shaped and not the cross shape we know today
@@slipstreamxr3763 amen to that friend
@@azazelswings6194 False. It was an upright stake/tree.
LOL! @17:00, the guy dueling on the left looks like Barry Gibb, in front of that tree!
Tanto is a knife. Tonto is a character in The Lone Ranger.
Yakuza do cut off tips of fingers, but they know go straight to the hospital to have them reattached.
I've been subscribed to this channel for a long time, and let me just say, you guys, your knowledge of torture is unparalleled, it's really incredible to see how much time and effort you guys put into finding out all the horrible and cruel things that humans have done to each other, great video guys.
I cant tell if this is a compliment or a jnsult
What does that say about us who enjoy these? 🤣
I feel like these are auto generated. They release way too many and a lot are mishmashed versions of eachother
Why am I laughing so hard? 😂😂😂
@@civiccc stop capping today. these are real humans, i hope, otherwise im not real
I love how triumphant and wholesome the music is while talking about how criminals have been put to suffer
And everybody not being tortured is smiling.
Ikr the BGM sounds like those "come join us for financial independence, brighter future for your kids"
wowza.. i love medieval torture history!!
Thanks for the ideas
Me as a human being: the human race was a mistake.
Me as an author: *takes notes.*
On a more serious note, for all the problems in the world today I am glad that at least some of human society has renounced such barbaric ways of dealing with those deemed undesirable.
Amen to that bro...freaking Amen
I dunno, man. Being canceled on twitter seems pretty bad.
im glad i am not born that long ago
I don't know, I still say there should be an exception made for anybody sick in the head enough to sexually abuse a child. If I had a daughter and she fell victim to a person like that, I'd wish scaphism or iron bull torture were still a thing.
Or apply "an eye for an eye" here. If a person is cruel and unsually violent to somebody (it's happened in the modern day - ever seen the MrBallen video about the man who hunted people for sport or the TheyWillKillYou video about the woman who disemboweled her own mother?) should be punished equally or worse than what they did.
@@zacharyengle4256 doesnt that mean you are equally as a monster as they are then
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.
He covered it it another video
They did cover it, and it might not even be true. The blood eagle...
got Its own video
There are no confirmed cases of that torture though
This is not a confirmed form of torture and is viewed as purely a myth. They didn't forget about anything.
ok but wheres the thumbnail? guy stuck in a tunnel?
You guys know how to make something very scary seem innocent 💀💀
Human beings are sick and this video shows it. How can you put someone through so much agony as these torture methods? I don't even want to try to imagine.
Then going home at the end of their shift, asking their partners how their day went. Only to continue the next day. Hmm, let’s see, where did we left off?
@@westerlywinds5684 Sounds a lot better than a slow agonizing death like the ones in this video. It feels good to ask people about their day, if you're a kind human being.
1:53 "flaying is nothing compared to..." Nah man, just no.. if anything, flaying should be at very top alongside brazen bull, impalement, sawing and quartered..
YES.
Skinning was a torture for martyrs that were recognized as saints in orthodox Christianity too. It’s insane how horrible humans treated one another for the sake of dif religions
I always thought The Rack would be kinda nice for a second, imagine that back pop you'll be fixed like that Mr. Incredibles scene
Took me 4 hours to finish this video.. i was always reading up on these torture methods and going down one rabbit hole after another.. wow!
Surprise you haven't seen this video on the other 100 same themed and recycle methods. WW2 video next. Get your notes ready.

We truly are a messed up group of people at times
We still are. Those who forget tend to repeat the past. Keep your eyes open
@@eligreg99 this. You are wise.
@@eligreg99 We’re still more ethical than every other species.
You would be surprised how messed up the average person still is.
Who tf is we? Speak for yourself
I had a nightmare when i was 4 or 5 of the all white room, its very unsettling, i would try to yell and call out to someone but i could hear nothing, not even my own voice
How fitting is the uplifting music? How appropiate for the topic of torture!
I could never imagine myself ever attending an execution for entertainment. This is sick
The spectators had very little else to do.
I’m sure that there was a social element involved that made people feel pressured to attend or risk being associated with the guilty party and tortured themselves.
It's really no different than watching a violent movie. If you've watched John Wick you've seen thousands of executions.
@@Levi-ft9ixThat's just a movie though. Violent movies are not even close to watching a person die in real life right in front of you. It's a totally different experience. It's not like in the movies.
But....They didn't have TV.
Human beings were, are, and will be forever despicable.
So your saying we should reduce our population?
I would say "some human beings" - don't generalize to the whole population.
So you are too??
This is why I welcome World War III. Only those prepared with underground "personal societies" will get through, and thus are likely to be decent.
And so are practically every other animal in existence.
The Brazen Bull has to be one of the most horrific methods of dying ever invented. It haunts me.
The second torture method is highly debated, most people don't believe it happened. But if it did....that's still a horrible way to go out.

Got a love the upbeat tone as horrific descriptions of torture are described. Sweet.
For a channel called "The Infographics Show" you'd think they'd ensure a higher degree of historical accuracy in their animations.
One of my grandfathers during the liberation war of Algeria got tortured by the french army to take information about his parteners, so they used a needle and they inserted it under his fingernails until they erased them all. he eventually didn't speak so they killed him
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.
Ouch
Similar to putting the convict in a barrel, hammer multiple nails into the barrel, and then rolling it down hill.
I am a scary story narrator on here and I have to say, you have a wonderful voice and I appreciate the hard work you do for us. Never stop making videos!

Bamboo torture.

An ancestor of mine was famously hung, drawn and quartered for treason which was considered one of the worst forms of execution which I won't outline here but I think that boiling in oil was the only method considered worse at the time. Nobles who had to be executed were simply beheaded. Knowing what happened to my ancestor has always made me wonder about how terribly people were made to suffer under judicial investigation or execution and so i found this video very informative if a little depressing.
Some the crushing method to avoid spilling blood, where stones are put on their body until suffocation occurs. St Margaret Clitherow was on the wrong end of this one.
Pedos & American politicians have become far too comfortable with this tradition being retired. If only
You are descended from a traitor?
9:05
Person: Getting Executed
Public: Bro, killin' ain't fun. It's boring, plz spice it up by doin' sum more torture, eh?
There is a method that terrefies me more than these for some reasond. The spanish donkey was a methon that had the victim sit on a triangularly shaped table so the angle from both sides would be so low that it would be painful to sit on. When the torturer finished whiping or using other forms of torture, they would chain heavy metal to the victims arms. The effect that that caused was that the pure weigth would start to pull the victim down and therefore ripping him in half
I agree, human beings can be long on cruelty but seriously short of common sense, respect and decency.
The blood eagle is also a pretty brutal method used by the scandinavians
There is no evidence for the blood eagle as depicted in modern litterature
But kinda cool though
@ElementZero Without getting too graphic, they'd pull someone's lungs out from behind so the lungs would look like wings and let them stay that way until the end
@@Rlyeh_The_Deadend of time? End of the line? End of Avatar 2 the way of water?
Yes but Lingchi was more brutal
Great video, but how come the "brazen bull" wasn't mentioned? It's way more sadistic then any of this punishments..
It was mentioned in another video
Yeah, brazen bull or sawing are probably the worst imo.
It's a method of execution not torture
@@stilettothefox so is crucifixion, it’s torture and then death
Death is not actually what you should be scared of but the pain you will go through before you die
Humans being human, as usual killing each other.
We are all so lucky to have been born into an era where punishments this cruel don't really happen anymore.
edit; yes I am aware that torture still happens, but I meant that it is way less common that it used to be. Don't be so tone deaf.

Stuff like this still happens you were just born in a safe area
CIA still use torture
