Most Brutal And Horrific Form Of Execution In The Acient History. - Education

Consider yourself lucky if you are reading this, you most likely not to have lived in a society with extreme judgements, sentences, and punishments. Back in the good old days if you did something wrong, for example stole a goat, chicken, Adultery, you were pretty much assured being handed a death sentence. In those days there was no hanging around on Death Row, contemplating the errors of your ways whilst waiting for some form of humane, painless death. Executions in the ancient history seems to be so barbaric and devices used were built with careful engineering to push the guilty to feel extreme and prolonged pain before death. The forms of execution listed below really are so barbaric that you might question your faith in human nature. Blowing from the gun.

Louis Le Prince was a French artist and the inventor of the motion-picture camera. However, in September 1890, he mysteriously vanished while on his way to New York to unveil his invention at his own exhibition.

Louis Le Prince was a French artist and the inventor of the motion-picture camera. However, in September 1890, he mysteriously vanished while on his way to New York to unveil his invention at his own exhibition.


The day before the exhibition, Le Prince's brother, Albert, dropped him off at the train station. Le Prince was carrying everything he needed to present the exhibit, including his suitcase with his valuable patents.

What's strange about this is that no one on the train remembers seeing Le Prince.

When he failed to show up at his own exhibit, the police became involved and began their investigation by questioning other passengers on the train. Not one of them could say they had seen him.

The fact that there were other inventors who had hoped to be the first to show the moving picture to the world fueled speculation that one of his fellow inventors was responsible for his disappearance.

This theory was further fanned by Le Prince's wife, Elizabeth, who publicly stated that she believed it to be true.

She claimed that Thomas Edison, in particular, was known to be highly competitive.

Despite many theories surrounding his disappearance, Le Prince was never found, nor was his body.

This will make you feel sad This iconic photograph marks the end of the career of matador Álvaro Munero. In the midst of the battle, he suddenly repented and sat down at the edge of the field. Subsequently, in an interview, Alvaro will tell: “Suddenly I saw not horns, but the eyes of a bull. He stood in front of me and started looking at me. Just stood and watched, making no attempt to attack. The innocence that is in the eyes of all animals looks towards me with a plea for help. It was like a cry for justice and met his horrible Somewhere deep inside me, I suddenly realized that he was addressing me in the same way we address God in prayer: “I don't want to fight you, please leave me, Because I have done nothing wrong to you. You can kill me if you want, kill me if you want, but I do not want to fight you." And I, reading it in his eyes, felt like the worst creature on earth and hindered the war.

Woman in Iran before the Islamic Revolution

The Islamic Revolution of 1979 brought seismic changes to Iran, not least for women. One area that has come under scrutiny is the way women dress and wear their hair - the old Shah, in the 1930s, banned the veil and ordered police to forcibly remove headscarves. But in the early 1980s, the new Islamic authorities imposed a mandatory dress code that required all women to wear the hijab. Here are some images showing what life was like for Iranian women before the institution of clerical rule, and how it has changed since. IMAGE SOURCE,A. ABBAS / MAGNUM PHOTOS Studying at Tehran University in 1977: While many women were already in higher education at the time of the revolution, the subsequent years saw a marked increase in the number attending university.

"They tried to stop women from attending university, but there was such a bac...

Both her husbands were soldiers”. She’s wielding an M-16, the standard-issue American soldier’s rifle.  Usually, these types of photos were taken for propaganda purposes. North Vietnamese women were deeply involved at all levels of the military campaign throughout the war, especially at the business end, fighting against the American-led forces in the jungle. North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone as well as provided manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open, cook for the troops, and some served as “comfort women” for male communis...
