0:00Brazen bull it was around 600 BC in
0:03Sicily and this man FIS was thinking of
0:05a new way to torture people he was said
0:08to be a cruel Tyrant some even say he
0:10was Cannibal and used to eat small
0:11suckling kids he was fond of torturing
0:14people and used to take pleasure from
0:15their screams he ran out of torture
0:18ideas and asked a sculptor named perus
0:20to create something that would Amaze him
0:22peralis then started working on that job
0:24and created a bronze bull after a few
0:26days he presented the bull to the king
0:29the bull was constructed Ed in such a
0:30way that the bull was hollow inside and
0:32there was a small door in its belly the
0:34accused would be shoved inside that
0:36Hollow belly through that small door
0:38then the door would be closed and the
0:40fire was lit under the bull the heat
0:42would start roasting the body and the
0:44victim would scream loudly a Contraption
0:46was made in the Bull's neck that would
0:48turn human scream into the bellowing
0:50sound of a
0:51bull the smoke would come out of its
0:53nose the sound and smoke would make it
0:56look like an angry bull ready for a
0:57fight the King was happy to hear it and
1:00to test its efficacy he threw paralos
1:02himself inside the bull and roasted him
1:04the bull passed the test the King was
1:06insanely overjoyed and started torturing
1:08all condemned with the bull but as we
1:11know what goes around comes around a few
1:14years later some leader named telemus
1:15overthrew him from throne and roasted
1:17FIS in the same Brazen bull rat torture
1:21this torture method was widely practiced
1:23in England from around 5th to 15th
1:25century and few records show it being
1:27practiced in Rome and few other cultures
1:29too but at later dates The London Tower
1:32renowned as a notorious prison and place
1:34of execution was a frequent site for
1:36this execution it was mostly used as a
1:39method of extracting confession from the
1:40criminals and accused ones the rats
1:43would be kept hungry for a few days
1:45before performing this torture the
1:47hunger made the rats aggressive and the
1:49torture would be more brutal there were
1:51two different ways of applying this
1:52torture the first way is to keep the rat
1:55in a metal Bowl the bowl is then placed
1:57inverted in the belly of the accused
2:00then the fire was lit at the top of the
2:02bowl and heat the chamber the rat would
2:04start burning and try to escape from
2:06that place with no place to go it would
2:09start borrowing a hole in the stomach
2:11then it would enter the body slowly
2:12ripping and destroying the organs the
2:15unsettling pain would be extreme and
2:17almost all of those would die in agony
2:19even the wife of King Henry VII was
2:21given this torture the second method is
2:24said to exist at the same time it was
2:27done for treason and crimes against
2:28Royals for this method a pipe would be
2:31inserted in the rear end of the accused
2:34a hungry and irritated rat was inserted
2:36in the opening of the pipe and the pipe
2:38was
2:39sealed the rat would enter the body from
2:41anus and gradually carve its path
2:43upwards it would eat the criminal from
2:45inside and would get out from the mouth
2:48there has not been sufficient proof of
2:49this method but some writings suggest it
2:51was practiced secretly a lot of Secrets
2:53have been buried in this horrific place
2:55I guess the rack this gruesome torture
2:58method was used in many medieval period
3:00from the 5ifth century but was
3:02widespread in Europe during the
3:03Inquisition period from the 12th to the
3:0515th century it's simply a stretching
3:08technique but the stretch goes beyond
3:10the imagination this was used to extract
3:13confession or to gain the information
3:15from the enemy members it consisted of a
3:17wooden plank or a few rolling Woods
3:19where the victim was confined the hands
3:21and legs of the victim would be tied by
3:23ropes or chains and the victim was asked
3:26numerous questions for every silence or
3:28false answer the wheel would be rotated
3:31every rotation of the wheel would slowly
3:33stretch the body putting pressure on
3:35wrist shoulders waists and ankles the
3:37body was stretched to such length that
3:39the muscles would tear joints would
3:41dislocate and the victim would suffer
3:43the excruciating pain few would die in
3:46the process but believe me those were
3:48the lucky ones if someone would survive
3:50the torture they would be set free by
3:53free I mean thrown to the woods or a
3:54deserted place without any working
3:57joints and torn muscles the person would
3:59go into paralysis some would try to move
4:02with intense pain while others would
4:03wait for their deaths with hunger and
4:05thirst in any way no one would survive
4:08more than a few days if you ask me
4:10that's literally a lengthy way to die
4:13lingi this form of torture is believed
4:16to have started from China lingi or
4:18Chanda Wang Gua in English translation
4:21Death By A Thousand Cuts is a method
4:23where a criminal accused of treason or
4:24Rebellion is cut hundreds of times by a
4:26small knife or a blade the accused was
4:29first tied to a pole on the street or
4:31public area for all to see to prevent
4:33the accused from instant death a
4:35professional executioner was called the
4:38Executioner would then start to make
4:39small Cuts without damaging the vital
4:41organs the cuts are made in such a way
4:43that it hurts like hell but the victim
4:45won't die the wound from hundreds of
4:47cuts will traumatize the victim and the
4:49agony of pain would be Beyond Compare
4:52the process was continued for as long as
4:54the criminal was alive sometimes it took
4:57a few hours and sometimes even a few
4:59days for the criminal to die it was to
5:01show what would happen if anyone spoke
5:03against the empire or tried to cheat the
5:05ruler the dates and time frame differ
5:07among the records but this torture
5:09method supposedly lasted for around 600
5:11years from 800 to 200 BC if you have
5:15watched my previous video you may know
5:17this guy chin XI hang he was among those
5:20who supported this torture method in
5:22fact this guy has been involved in so
5:23many things that you will definitely
5:25hear his name in future videos as well
5:28the pair of anguish this torture method
5:30was used in medieval times mainly by the
5:32religious institutions starting from the
5:35fifth century it was used against heresy
5:37and blasphemy which were considered the
5:39crime of the highest caliber it got
5:42widespread around the 12th century and
5:44lasted up to the 16th century in this
5:46torture method a pear-shaped metal or
5:49wooden structure was inserted in mouth
5:51or back for men and you can guess where
5:53it would go for women the pair was made
5:56in such a way that the rotation of screw
5:58would slowly expand the Spike pedals
6:00this would cause internal damage to the
6:02body and generate intense pain if the
6:04Paar would fully open death was
6:06guaranteed it was like inserting an
6:08umbrella from the back and opening it
6:10inside the belly I wonder what God would
6:12say if he saw this blasphemy jetting
6:15jetting was a gruesome public torture
6:17and execution method practiced in
6:19medieval Europe Rome and colonial
6:21America it was punishment for piracy
6:24murder treason or Rebellion Jabet is a
6:27cage-like structure made of metal frames
6:29you can think of it as a cage for a bird
6:31but multiplied by a bad Factor it came
6:34in many shapes but the size would be no
6:36bigger than to fit a person as the name
6:38suggests the convict would be kept in
6:40jibet and displayed for the public to
6:43see the Jets would be kept in accessible
6:45places like Public Road the side of a
6:47playground or near the water source the
6:50convict would cry of hunger and thirst
6:52and even ask for help if anyone tried to
6:55free them those would be hanged in
6:56another jibet next to the convict so no
6:59one would ever dare to do it since the
7:01body was directly exposed to elements
7:03like heat cold Sun rain wind and
7:06everything it would be extremely painful
7:08and hopeless the victim would die
7:10ranging from a few days to a few weeks
7:13after the body was dead the insects and
7:15birds would eat it it would start to
7:17decompose and the unbreathable odor
7:19would be the reminder for others not to
7:21cross the line and obey the rules as per
7:24record some of the dead bodies were just
7:26kept like that for as long as 20 years
7:28well they would punish even after the
7:30death I guess flaying this was an insane
7:33torture method where a criminal is
7:35skinned alive practiced in a lot of
7:37cultures and regions it was mainly
7:39prevalent in the near East or Assyria
7:41Medieval Europe and ancient China this
7:43guy was among those who used this
7:45torture method it was used as a
7:46punishment for treason heresy rebellion
7:49and mostly for war crimes in this method
7:52the convicted criminal would be tied to
7:54a pole or a table a professional
7:56executioner was called so that the
7:58victim Wouldn't Die
8:00the Executioner would make a small
8:01incision in the neck area with a sharp
8:03blade or knife then he would start
8:05peeling the skin without any delay it
8:08was done so professionally that most of
8:10the time the skin would be in one piece
8:12after peeling it from the victim keeping
8:14bleeding to a minimum and not destroying
8:16the vitals the victim would be kept
8:18alive throughout the whole process the
8:21unbearable pain and Loud Cry of the
8:23victim would make even the witness
8:25tremble in fear the victim would later
8:27die of psychological Agony and wounds
8:30rather than the skinning process this
8:32method traces back to almost the 8th
8:34Century BC and was practiced up to
8:36around 200 BC but few records show that
8:39it was recently used in the world war as
8:41an action of Revenge bamboo torture this
8:44torture method is said to have been
8:45practiced in China not much
8:47documentation is found regarding this
8:49method but few records show that it was
8:51a slow penetration method of torture for
8:54this a specific bamboo species called
8:57moso bamboo was used as the tool of pun
8:59punishment this bamboo grows more than 3
9:02ft per day that's more than 1.5 in per
9:05hour you can literally see it growing
9:08the criminal would be tied around 3 ft
9:09high in Two Poles either horizontally or
9:12vertically then the bamboo saplings
9:14would be planted below the body of the
9:16prisoner in front of his eyes the bamboo
9:18would start growing and within 24 hours
9:21it would reach the victim's body with
9:23its cone-like top it would start to
9:25pierce the body the plant completely
9:27pierces the body within 10 to 12 hours
9:30if horizontal and around 24 hours if
9:33vertically positioned criminal the body
9:35was left there as a reminder for others
9:37to see in any case this process was pain
9:41in the ass literally scism this insane
9:44torture and execution method was
9:46performed by ancient Persians from 550
9:49to 330 BC it was given to those people
9:53who committed the crime of speaking
9:54against the Persian Empire in this
9:56torture method the victim was forcefully
9:58fed a lot of milk and honey by a lot I
10:01mean a lot lot aside from that a
10:04buttload of Honey was smeared in his
10:06body too then he would be tied to a boat
10:08or some hollow tree trunk then another
10:11small boat or some cover was placed in
10:12an inverted position and was sealed
10:14keeping just the victim's head hands and
10:16legs outside the boat was placed in
10:18swamp water and pushed aside a lot of
10:21insects and animals would start feeding
10:22on that honey to make it worse the
10:24overdose of honey and milk would start
10:26bloating the stomach and the victim
10:28would be forced to [ __ ] inside inside
10:29the boat with no Outlet the boat would
10:31start to swarm with countless bugs and
10:33worms the insects would start eating the
10:35body from outside and worms would enter
10:38the body and start eating it from inside
10:40the pain of bloating insect bites and
10:43internal Decay would cause immense pain
10:45and The Echoes of the victim's cry would
10:47be heard from miles away the body would
10:50gradually rot while the victim is still
10:51alive the suffering would last from a
10:54few days to 2 weeks until the victim
10:56died this torture was so inhumane and
10:59gross that even I was hesitant to make
11:01drawings for this part but as a fact
11:03video I thought I should include this
11:05too sawing this method was prevalent in
11:09the Middle Ages in Rome Europe China
11:12India and Persia this punishment was
11:14mainly for those who were believed to be
11:16involved in witchcraft or sorcery in
11:18this method the accused would be hanged
11:20upside down with legs and hands tied to
11:22a pole two professional executioners
11:24would be called with a big saw they
11:26would start to saw the accused from the
11:28groin and slowly cut upward towards the
11:30head since the victim is upside down the
11:32flow of blood towards the head would
11:34prevent the victim from instant death
11:36and thus would feel all the pain and
11:38Agony the victim would die halfway
11:40through but the insane process would
11:43last until the body is completely cut in
11:45two pieces the body was then thrown
11:47somewhere or given to animals as food I
11:50am glad that none of you were born in
11:52those times were making any small
11:53mistakes or just a small Act of
11:55blasphemy would lead to insane and
11:57gruesome deaths few bad torture methods
12:00still exist till now but are done in
12:01secret and hiding and that's the story
12:04for next time thanks for watching till
12:06the end and as always I love you guys
