I was surfing for some interesting facts about the history (though I don't like history) when I ran into these few pictures that gave me goose bumps. They were actually about all kinds of weirdest and cruelest prosecutions and tortures back to the ancient times. At one second, I did think that those people who "invented" these were kinda creative, but in a very very bad way.
So, here we go.
We always say "What's in your freaking brain actually?!" when we are annoyed by someone who messed up everything. And here's the way to find out. This is one of the tortures that occurred during the ancient Maya. They used a sharp stone-made blade and "scratched" your scalp till your skull revealed. You can do nothing and you can't even struggle because your body is tightly tied up.
Next, a weird and funny way of torturing that took place during the ancient Europe. This torture was specifically designed for women and don't ask me why. With your body in the canvas bag, I'll put a mice and a cat in it. Guess you'll know what happens next. I was wondering why this torture method was not applicable for men. Then my conclusion is, "If the cat or mice accidentally hurt a man's "stick" or "ping pong balls", that man might not be able to survive and the torturers won't get what they wanted. And for ladies, their vital part are buried inside." Sounds reasonable for me.
A hollow metal snake pipe around your body sounds nothing like a torture, but what if I pour something into the hollow pipe and it is around 100 Celsius?? Yup, they pour hot water through the snake's mouth and you can feel the heat going down and around your body. But the only problem is, how did they bend the metal snake around their victim and take it away later? I don;t dare to imagine.
Having two bowling balls tied on each of your legs and forced to sit like the man above, what will happen to your poor little Johnny? If the top of the pyramid is sharp enough, you might end up with your little Johnny being separated into two. No matter man or woman, I think after this "game", you might not be able to feel your lower part anymore.
Our legs were designed to bend backwards but someone felt curious about it and wanted to do the opposite. As I were told, women have better flexibility and if they were given this torture, more bricks would be used. Imagine your legs after this...
With a rope around your neck, two men will be winding the rope with sticks and you will feel it harder to breathe every minute. It's like a different method of hanging a person but a bit simpler.
This is a very old torturing method that took place during the ancient China, the Qin Dynasty. Ropes were tied on both your legs and hands and the end of the ropes were tied on 4 strong horses. "Spliaakkkkkk!!" Two hand, two legs and a limbless body all separated....
I'll SKIN you alive!!! Those prosecutors were actually tearing off their victims' skin as if they were skinning the pigs'.
Last but not least, this coffin looks similar with the one which we see in the movie Mummy Returns where the pretty Egyptian princess was inserted alive with thousands of flesh-eating beetles, but instead of beetles, this one has spikes in it.
That's all I got for now, but there's still uncountable ways of torture and prosecuting around the world from different cultures. I don't know why people must invent such cruel and useless things. May the world be blessed with peace and love. Adios!
