If the picture you're using for this video is the rock carving that you're talking about I think you should point out that behind the man doing the carving of the other man there is something that appears to be an eagle watching. Sometimes I think we get caught up in trying to disprove things that seem a little bit over the top but I 100% believe that this was something that they did to the high-level prisoners that they captured. They wouldn't have done this to the average soldier with a spear but with a captured King I think this was obviously an option for them.
I think there's something crucial that you're not thinking about. These Vikings like any other men of this era had been hunting and then dismembering many animals in all of their lifetimes. This would include wild boars, deer, elk, rabbits and on and on. I worked for several years as the head of a butcher shop at a fancy grocery store and I 100% believe that this procedure is not half as difficult as you think. The lungs don't have to continue working for this to happen. The man will die in the process of a blood eagle being carved through his back and that doesn't make any difference. I believe that they would continue to make the eagle even if the man enduring it had passed away. There's just too much smoke in the old sources for this not to have occurred. I am 100% a believer in the blood eagle having occurred. It was supposed to be horrific and bloody because it was a gruesome statement.
Thanks.
