Bone cancer and getting blood eagled?
That Bloodeagle scene on Vikings was really hard to watch. I still see it in my memories when it’s brought up. The fact it was a real thing is what does it. Humans are the worst.
If it makes ya feel any better it was probably done on only rare occasions, I dont even know if there are first hand accounts of it. Ritualistic sacrifices to Odin sure tons of those, blood eagles rare if it did happen. The act is only really mentionex in two sagas so it is possible it was purely a literary invention.
I can’t imagine anyone going through that could refrain from screaming in, or passing out from, pain. I appreciate the comment. The fact that people thought up such a thing is as equally disturbing. Yikes!
Honestly id take getting blood eagled over getting eaten alive by rats, getting shoves into the brazen bull, or the Mughal elephant crushing method. Brazen bull doesnt really deserve to be on here though since the tyrant of Syracuse only ever used it once on the dude who made it. But yeah blood eagle is solidly in C tier for historical killing methods.
I’d settle for repeatedly falling up a flight of stairs or getting fucked in the ass with a splintered broom handle.
