Lingchi is the most cruel punishment in ancient my country. The person who was sentenced to death must be cut by a sharp knife, and he must have enough 3357 knives to die. During this period, he suffered all kinds of torture, and his life was worse than death.
In ancient times, this punishment was once terrified, and even we were still scared when we heard it. But compared to other punishments in the world, Ling Chi is still a slim figure.
Below I will introduce to you the 10 most cruel punishments in the world. The methods are extremely cruel. Which one can you persist until?
The first type - nailing
nailing is the most well-known punishment. The Western savior Jesus died of this punishment . This punishment originated from Ancient Roman . It was established to punish those traitors and those who escaped at the battle. This punishment was used to show them to the public and be despised.
Nailing is to nail a person's limbs and joints with extremely long nails to the cross, put them in the wild, blowing the sun, and slowly waiting for death.
The horror of this punishment is that you don’t know how you died. It may be caused by traumatic infection in the nail mouth, or it may be caused by bleeding, or it may be frozen to death or sunburn to death, and at the same time you have to endure the pecking of birds. In short, all kinds of death methods are waiting for you and causing you to die in pain.
The second type - Iron Madam
This punishment was first established in the 16th century and is often used to punish those unfaithful women by , so it is also called "Iron Virgin" . The Iron Lady's torture instrument is a human-shaped cylinder covered with long nails and the base plate is a detachable wooden board.
When executing, will raise this torture instrument about one meter above the ground. Then lock the prisoner in this torture instrument, and the moment the door is closed, the long nail will penetrate the body of the tortured person. At this time, pull the bottom plate away, and under the influence of the earth's gravity, the person being punished will slowly slide downwards . But due to the obstruction of the long nails, the person who was tortured would not fall immediately, but would suffer the pain of slowly tearing apart in the flesh little by little.
The horror of this punishment is that these long nails are not important parts of the human body, and will not die immediately, but will torture to death bit by bit.
The third type - Catherine wheel
Catherine wheel is originally a symbolic symbol of Christian saints, meaning that believers can accept all cruel trials. In the Middle Ages, many believers betrayed their beliefs, so the Catherine wheel gradually evolved into a punishment.
The Catherine wheel looks like the wheel of an ancient carriage, with knives inserted around it, which is a bit like a Hot Wheel. In the middle is a spear-like stick, which is inserted into the body of the tortured person, and then the limbs and head of the tortured person are hung under the wheel.
The executioner turns the wheel. Under the action of inertia, the limbs and head of the person being punished will constantly rub the knife on the outer ring of the wheel, scratching himself all over his body, and finally losing blood and death.
Another usage is to hold the Catherine wheel up, tie the tortured person to the wheel, and rotate it constantly like a lottery turntable. The tortured person will be dizzy, vomit, and be choked to death by his own vomit.
The fourth type - brass bull
This is a punishment for Ancient Greek . In the concept of Ancient Greek , bull symbolizes absolute rights. Those who dare to provoke the imperial power will punish them. At that time, there was an extremely cruel tyrant named Feraris in ancient Greece. He was very cruel and punished his servants in various ways. It is said that he had eaten a baby in his own hands.
A Athenian named Perios made a brass bull in order to please him. This bull was made one-to-one based on the real bull. Its abdomen is hollow and a canal is connected to the abdomen. Perrios said to the tyrant, "If you hate someone, you can stuff him into the cattle's stomach and light the firewood below. The people inside are roasted and will make a tragic roar. The roar is through my carefully transformed tube, and the sound comes from the cattle's nose."
The brutal Ferraris became interested when he heard this, so he ordered people to stuff Perrios in and use him as an experiment. As a result, Perrios was roasted to death. He thought he would be favored by the tyrant, but he shot himself in the foot.
Later, the brass bull became a tool to punish prisoners, because copper has very good thermal conductivity. A little bit of flame will cause the temperature in the cow's stomach to rise sharply, and the people inside will be roasted to death or burned to death.
The fifth type - Spanish donkey
The shape of the Spanish donkey is similar to the Trojan horse in the sports meet today, but the top of the Spanish donkey is not a cushion, but a Triangular cone. tortured person is stripped and placed on this triangular cone, and then tie two stones of equivalent weight to the ankle , and other parts of the body are tied up to play a supporting role.
As time goes by, the stones of the ankle will fall down. Every time the sharp triangular cone is inserted into the body of the tortured person, it will be deeper. In the long run, the body of the tortured person will be slowly split into two halves. Moreover, the tortured person is very awake and can feel his body slowly tearing. At this time, fear is greater than pain. Many Spanish donkey tortured persons lose too much blood or are scared to death before they are split into two halves.
The fifth type - rat punishment.
Rat is one of the four major harms. Not only does it look terrifying, they also have various viruses and bacteria in their bodies. Humans keep away from them.
and rat punishment is to tie the tortured person to a board, press an iron bucket full of mice upside down on the tortured person, and after fixing it, put a red-burned charcoal block above the iron bucket. Once the iron bucket is heated, it will be transmitted to various places. The rats in the bucket cannot stand the roasting, so they will look for a place to drill holes and run away.
But the iron bucket cannot be penetrated by mice, they can only choose the abdomen of the tortured person. By gnawing Find holes in the abdomen of the tortured. Once they bite through, they will drill around the body of the tortured person, gnaw on the internal organs , etc. The tortured person not only has to endure such pain, but also be careful of plague .
But at this time no one cares whether the tortured person is sick, so most of the deaths caused by virus or bacterial infections are caused by virus or bacterial infections.
The seventh type - laughing punishment
Do you believe there are people in the world who laugh to death? There must be. Laughing punishment is to make the tortured person laugh, resulting in hypoxia or choking. This punishment is not that scary, but imagine, if others scratch you, how long can you bear it?
号号号号号 usually tie the torture instrument and touch the soles of the torture person's feet with feathers or other soft things. The tortured person was unbearable but could not escape and broke free. He could only smile constantly, and after a while he lost strength and fainted due to oxygen. At this time, the executioner will wake you up with water and then repeatedly scratch your soles.
If this continues, the person who was sentenced will die in exhaustion.
The eighth type - waterboard
waterboard This kind of punishment is breathless just thinking about it. Usually, we have to choke when drinking water and choke for a while before we can recover, let alone being pressed into our mouths.
Water beating means using a funnel to continuously pour water into the mouth of the tortured person until the entire lung is filled and the bulging one stops. However, this punishment is painful, but it only suffers for a small period of time. Some people are already choked to death during the watering process, which is no different from drowning.
The ninth type - bamboo punishment
bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world. It can grow from small bamboo shoots to "tower bamboo" in a short time. Bamboo punishment is to take advantage of this characteristic of bamboo to place the prisoner on the bamboo shoots that are about to emerge. By taking good care of the bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots can grow up quickly, and then penetrate the body of the tortured person and grow out of the body of the tortured person.
The tortured person can only endure the pain of being pierced during this process, bleeding too much and eventually becomes a nutrient for bamboo.
The tenth type - Blood Eagle
This is equivalent to the ancient times when we opened the intestine and broke the belly. drew an eagle on the prisoner's back, then cut it from the chest, breaking the ribs out one by one , opening it like a door, looking from behind, it seems like an eagle spreading its wings. This kind of punishment is the most cruel, it directly destroys human nature, and treats punishment as one's own evil taste, which is frightening.
Humans are the cruelest animals in the world, and human nature is also the most unfathomable. Each of the punishment methods listed above is a new standard of evil human nature, so it is better to say that punishment is cruel than cruelty. Are you glad you lived in such a happy world after reading it?
