That’s why many executioner wore hoods to disguise their identity and went from town to town doing executions because they were so despised. Also, being executioner paid well. Besides their meager stipends, many executioners were bribed to make the execution as neat and painless as possible.
@@akasantajrsome were also bribed to make the person suffer more. They were a sick bunch back then; getting pleasure from watching someone die in agony. Some would even bring their children to watch.
@@Pintsizedhistory-hr9cj that’s a great idea! This was really good, informative and I like all the visual aides, that makes me sound kind of messed up lol.
Breaking on the wheel was cruel, too, and used in Germany as far in time as the 18th century. But the worst kind of execution must have been eaten alive by eels. This practice is not confirmed but does not have to be for people to fear such a death. Another gruesome death must have been death by a 1000 cuts..
You said that impalement was the worst. First, why being burried alive is not equal, also the bull and eventually all of them ? Btw: you didn't mention ling chi, the death of 1000 cuts. Regards !
Maybe we need to being these back. People have gone mental and all you have to do, is put the news on for 10 minutes to see for yourself. I don't buy what the media tries to sell me, but there's no denying, that the consequences handed out for crimes in the modern world, are laughable and hardly worth taking seriously. Bring this stuff back, put it on pay-per-view and watch things change.
Funny how they left out Quartering.
Having to watch the talk show "Ellen" non stop with no way to end it yourself. A slow torturous death.
Interesting that the Executioner was looked down upon, yet the crowds had no problem, and enjoyed watching the executions 😮

OMG those poor elephants, they were trained to be killers. I had read that the job of executioner was past down from father to son in some countries
Beheading still goes on in the Middle East and lets not forget they use stoning...especially women. Utterly savage.
Lingchi - Death by a Thousand Cuts (literally} a Chinese method of execution that existed as late as the twentieth century.
Some of it has been covered by other series. It is well-told, and in better detail. I especially like the explanation of crucifixion.
Informative, entertaining and frightening! Thank you !
Thanks!
In London I saw the very block upon which many an Englishman lost their
heads.
Crucifixion must be the very worst.
I’m kinda shocked scaphism wasn’t mentioned
It was a hard call getting the list down to the 10 in our video. Possibly a part 2 in the future!

Evil barbaric cruelty

Thanks for the feedback Masuda. We will keep this in mind for future videos.
My vote for the worst one goes to the bull.
Wait I thought executioners were like celebrities back then?
Lay them down on a colony fire ants whippy

Was I just not paying attention, or did y'all completely overlook milk & honey?🤔
Eaten alive by a bear.
