Evil Punishments Designed to be Worse Than Death

I like how medieval people were so creative with torture methods but couldn't solve hygiene issues

Flaying legit has to be the worst way of dying I have ever seen, Imagine getting your skin slowly sliced apart with Small cuts usually taking Hours if not an entire day until you are left skinless with all of your muscles and tissues unprotected by the skin will result in even more pain and suffering until day later when you are finally put down

I can't even comprehend inflicting this much pain on another person, the fact that this was common back then is even more insane. We're definitely lucky to be born in this time, though I know there's still torture in some countries.

I'm loving the absolutely cheery, optimistic, hopeful, and "epic" music playing in the background while the narrator goes on about some of the most sadistic torture methods concocted by mankind. Great choice there, guys.

The more you hear about these brutalities, the less surprised I am, humans can be such sadistic and evil creatures, torturing others based purely on belief, rather than a proper system of evidence based trials, even today...

it's incredible how sick humanity is

I honestly cannot understand how is it possible to even think about something like this. Humans must be the worst specie that exists on this Earth.

"I didn't do it" - gets slowly tortured. "Okay okay, i did it, even though i know i didn't" - gets killed anyways. You just can't win.

having had a dislocated shoulder multiple times, i can't fanthom what "the rack would do to a person and the immense pain, truely sickening.

It’s crazy how nowadays when some people get arrested they find it the worst day of there lives thinking the world is over for them and then hearing these torture methods that are scary as heck

"How do you prove your innocence? Die!" This line is so sadistic and funny in a morbid way

We are so lucky to be living in this time and day.

The witch drowning always confused me. Don't they realize that if the woman in question really had magic, she wouldn't have been caught in the first place?

So, is the loud, distracting background music the Infographics Show's way of torturing it's viewers?

Not so fun fact: When flaying was done by someone skilled, your skin was removed from the bottom up, concluded by removing all the skin on your face and head. It's referred to as "degloving". Often this was done in front of a mirror so the victim could see their own skull with eyes in the sockets. Their eyelids came off with the skin so they couldn't blink or close their eyes. They spend the next hours or days staring at their own skeleton and skull. The mental horror of the sight is unimaginable and a worse torture than any physical pain?

Gotta love the upbeat inspirational music while he's describing how people can be horribly ripped apart

It's honestly terrifying how creative people are when it comes to this sort of thing

Edit: Why did yall drag God into this for literally no reason

Heartly RIP to all the victems of any forms of torture..
May your soul truly rest and liberate

Imagine going through that. It makes you think about the fact that many people have gone through this and that's crazy, you can't even start to think how agonizing that would be (I would definitely expect the crime rates to be lower, no matter their circumstances) .
