The Blood Eagle

This alleged method of execution believed to have been performed by the Vikings included initially tying the victim’s hands and legs to prevent any movement. The torturer would then stab the victim up toward their rib cage. Every single rib would be carefully ...severed from the spine with an ax or some other sharp tool. It is believed that victims would often remain alive through this part of the procedure. This left the internal organs on display and salt would sometimes be rubbed into the wounds to increase pain.

Finally, the lungs would be pulled out of the body to make it appear as if the victim literally had a pair of “wings.”

2. The Judas Cradle

Although more widely used in Medieval Europe, the purpose of the Judas Cradle was to obtain various kinds of confessions by forcing the nude victim onto a chair with a pyramid shaped seat. The victim’s feet would often be tied together in such a way that moving one leg would ...increase pain by forcing the other leg to move along with it. The torturer was able to raise and lower the victim with a rope and pulley system, which drove the penetrating part deeper into the victim. Some torturers would additionally place oil on the device, considerably increasing pain. The device was rarely or not at all washed, also increasing chances for death by infection.

In some cases, the victim would be rocked or made to repeatedly fall on the pyramid shaped seat to obtain vital information.

3. The Lead Sprinkler

This device, also typically used in the Middle Ages, was filled with molten lead, tar, boiling oil, and other scalding substances. Torturers poured metals into one end to allow for the extremely hot substances to drip over the stomach and other body parts of the victim.

Execution would sometimes occur by pouring molten silver into the eyes, resulting in great pain and potential death.

4. Scaphism

Scaphism, aka “the boats,” was an alleged ancient Persian method of execution where one died by literally being eaten alive. The victim would be placed between two wooden canoes or hollowed out tree trunks with their legs and head protruding outward. The executioners would ...then force the victim to consume a milk and honey mixture until they developed diarrhea. 

Surrounded by the victim’s own feces and vomit, even more of the milk and honey mixture would be applied to sensitive areas of the body. This would attract insects who would feed on ...the body and lay eggs in the various exposed orifices. With rations of the milk and honey mixture along with water, the victim was unlikely to die of hunger or thirst. Death would be agonizingly slow and usually came from septic shock or gangrene.

5. The Breaking Wheel

The breaking wheel, also known as the Catherine wheel, was a torture method used for public execution primarily in Europe from antiquity through Middle Ages into the early modern period, by breaking the bones of a criminal and/or bludgeoning them to death.

The victim was first tied down the executioner dropped, then the executioner dropped the execution wheel on the shinbones of the convicted person and then worked his way up to the arms. To increase its effect, often sharp-edged timbers were placed under the convict's joints.

Although not commonplace, the executioner could be instructed to execute the convicted person at the end of the first act, by aiming for the neck or heart in a "coup de grace".

6. Lingchi

Lingchi, also known as “death by a thousand cuts”, was a brutal method of execution used in China in which the victim would suffer a multitude of cuts before eventually dying of blood loss.
Executioners were tasked with making as many cuts as possible and removing slices of flesh without killing the victim. This practice started in the 10th century and was outlawed in 1905, making it one of the few execution methods for which photos of it being practiced actually exist!

7. Execution by Elephant

Execution by elephant, also known as gunga rao, was a common method of capital punishment in South and Southeast Asia, where Asian elephants were used to crush, dismember or torture captives in public executions. The animals were trained and versatile, able to kill victims immediately or to torture them slowly over a prolonged period. 

The practice was eventually suppressed by European empires that colonized the region in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The practice was also occasionally used by Western Powers, such as Ancient Rome and Carthage, particularly to deal with mutinous soldiers.

8. Impalement

Impalement involved hammering a sharpened stick into a criminal’s body via the anus (or vagina) before then hoisting up the criminal and letting gravity pull the criminal slowly back down to the ground. The stick would eventually protrude through the victim’s head or shoulders or back, killing him, but not before he suffered hours of humiliating, excruciating pain as a sharpened stick tore slowly through his body via the initial point of entry through his body.

Terrible.

9. The Culinary Horrors ( Boiling and Roasting Prisoners alive)

The Ancient Greeks used to punish people by cooking them inside a huge bronze bull (a.k.a. The Brazen Bull, Bronze Bull, or Sicilian Bull).

A criminal was locked inside the device via a door on its side and a fire was then lit underneath, slowly burning the victim to death.

The bull had small metal pipes fitted into its nose. As the victim screamed in pain, their cries played through it as a low bellow.

“St. Lawrence, one of seven deacons who served under Pope Sixtus II, died on August 10, in 258 A.D. According to legend, he was “roasted” alive on a grill—but maintaining his good humor to the end, he is reputed to have said during his ordeal,‘Turn me over. I’m done on this side.

I see an eagle Jarl Borg, and the eagle is your destiny - The Seer to Jarl Borg.
Some weeks later Ragnar Lothbrok performed a blood eagle on Jarl Borg.

Number 4 is the worst Scaphism. This one you will be tormented for almost a week, and your physical appearance will be a real life zombie. Even if one manage to survive the PTSD and all will make you rethink life again.

Man has been terribly wicked. The corruption by the devil and the fallen agents was so destructive..

God has a lot of things to judge on the last day, sadly many apostles and disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ suffered all these same fate of punishment....

Imagine dropping a person into a pot of boiling oil...
Re: The Most Brutal Torture And Execution Techniques Throughout History by oluwaseyi0: 7:51am On May 25, 2020
Even Jesus Christ will be thankful for his simpler and easier death on a wooden cross, trust me there are worse punishment than he has gone through and to think that some of their worse punishment are melted on wrongly accused person is baffling

If they've roasted Jesus alive I'm sure won't bother ressurecting grin
