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. With the invention of the cannon came this wonderfully imaginative way of executing enemy combatants. The basic method was to tie the unfortunate victim to the barrel of a cannon and fire it. Horrific as this sounds I imagine it w...

"Mary the Elephant's Heart-Wrenching Execution: A Homeless Man, A Circus Tragedy, and a Town's Fury in 1916"



On September 11, 1916, a homeless man named Red Eldridge was hired as an assistant elephant trainer by the Sparks World Famous Shows circus. His only job role was knowing how to use an elephant stick (literally a sharp spear). The day after he was hired, the circus announced a show in the town of Kingsport , Tennessee , featuring an elephant parade.Tragedy occurred when Mary the Elephant went on a rampage: while she was nibbling on a watermelon rind, Eldridge tried to keep her in line by prodding her behind the ear with a hook. Onlookers - stunned and helpless - watched as she grabbed Eldridge with her trunk, threw him against a drinks stand and stomped on his head, crushing it.Within minutes, the local blacksmith who thought she had gone mad shot her 5 bullets, but to no effect. Some spectators then began to chant: " Kill the elephant! Let's kill him ." Meanwhile, the mayors of several nearby towns threatened not to allow the circus to visit if Mary attended the show. So the circus owner, Charlie Sparks, decided that the only way to resolve the matter quickly was to kill the elephant in public.

The next day, September 13, 1916, Mary was transported by rail to Unicoi County , Tennessee , where a crowd of over 2,500 people (including most of the town's children) gathered at the Clinchfield rail yard.It took 2 attempts to kill the elephant, who trembled as he waited as if he already knew what was about to happen. Using not a rope, but a chain, the men tied her to a crane and attempted to lift her. However, the first attempt ended in a broken chain, causing Mary to fall off her feet and break her hip while dozens of children fled in terror. The seriously injured elephant died during a second attempt and was buried near the tracks.A veterinarian examined Mary after the hanging and determined that the creature had a badly infected tooth in the precise spot where Red Eldridge used to prod her. The animal had only responded in kind, following her instincts , and for this alone she had been lynched alive by a bloodthirsty mob.

Pata Seca; Meet Slave Whose Only Duty Was To Have Sex With Women To Procreate

Slaves were known to be priced possessions of their owners who mainly were used for hard labour especially on farms and other labourous areas of enterprise. It's a known fact that slavery contributed significantly to the development of the Western nations and some of the upcoming developed countries like Brazil and the likes. While I will not waste time to take you on History class or lessons, stumbled on a name and story that looked like fiction yet a true life and historical figure in Brazil. Pata Seca was a black slave in Brazil in the late 1880s, while there are varying versions of his story and biography one thing remained constant. That Pata Seca was a slave who didn't work on any farm, factory or engaged in any hard labour through out his life but was groomed, pampered and given preferential treatment is an irony only explained by the reason for which it happened. The whole arrangement was a sinister one aimed as using Pata Seca as a breeder of slaves, just as dogs and o...

Pastor Marries a Girl on Her 18th Birthday. Cop Notices Something ODD & Stops Everything!

Pastor Marries a Girl on Her 18th Birthday. Cop Notices Something ODD & Stops Everything! Martha, the estranged daughter of Pastor Michael, expresses her concerns about his upcoming marriage to a young woman named Edna. Martha finds it odd that Pastor Michael had never mentioned Edna before, that she had no job or known family or friends, and that she was going to be 18 on the wedding day, making the age difference between her father and Edna 25 years. Martha's suspicions increase when he learns that Edna had revealed this; I'm sexually aroused with no one and been living with Pastor Michael for the past few months. Officer Jake, a friend of Martha's, agrees to help her investigate. They discover that Edna is an orphan who had been in and out of foster homes and had been living on the streets for several months before coming to their small town. Despite their concerns, they are unable to find any concrete evidence of wrongdoing on Pastor Michael's part. However, Jak...

10 of History’s Most Dangerous Female Prisoners

 Prison life has long fascinated those of us who follow the law. We often hear the anecdotal (and probably terrible) advice given to newcomers to the clink: fight the biggest guy to assert dominance, watch yourself in the showers, and so on. Women’s prisons, though less familiar, have gradually entered the public eye through documentaries and streaming shows like Orange Is the New Black, offering a sensationalized glimpse into life behind bars. But what are female prisoners really like? Are they incarcerated for the same heinous crimes as men? Do they reach the same level of notoriety as infamous male criminals like Charles Bronson? Here is a list of ten of the most infamous female prisoners ever. 10- Genene Jones Killers are among the most deserving to be behind bars. The threat of taking someone’s life should be enough to keep you from society. However, killing a child is on a whole other level. Born in 1950, this Texan murderer was a pediatric nurse, coming into contact with chi...

Marriage with a COR-PSE..ROTTING ALIVE..FIVE ANCIENT and MON-STROUS PLEA-SURES

Marriage with a COR-PSE..ROTTING ALIVE..FIVE ANCIENT and MON-STROUS PLEA-SURES In some societies, it’s possible—with a few caveats. Posthumous marriage—that is, nuptials in which one or both members of the couple are dead—is an established practice in China, Japan, Sudan, France, and even the United States, among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The procedural and legal nuances of each approach vary wildly between cultures, but here is an overview of how to tie the knot with someone who isn’t quite alive. Although Chinese dating and marriage practices are slowly changing under the influence of technology and online dating, traditional, family-oriented values still rule. Matchmaking, via meddling parents and/or a marriage broker, is big business. To be female and unmarried at 30 is to be a “leftover woman.” The 1978 implementation of the one-child policy has complicated the marriage market somewhat due to the societal preference for baby boys. A 2011 study fo...

One Of The Weirdest Practices In Ancient Roman

One Of The Weirdest Practices In Ancient Roman In our society, mischievous artists like giggling schoolboys leave crude drawings of a phallus on walls to shock and titillate. They are usually scrubbed off or painted over as such images are deemed taboo and offensive. In ancient Rome, the image of the phallus was depicted on door knockers, lamps, wind chimes, charms as well as drawn and sculpted on walls and depicted in mosaics and other decorative surfaces. The sexual energy of these images was believed to protect people by invoking the power of the god Fascinus. The Vestal Virgins tended the cult of the fascinus populi Romani, who represented a masculine generative power located within the hearth, regarded as sacred. Saint Augustine notes that a phallic image was carried in procession annually at the festival of Father Liber, the Roman god identified with Bacchus or the Greek Dionysys, for the purpose of protecting the fields from fascinatio, magic compulsion: certain rites of Liber w...

My Husband Ridiculed My Postpartum Figure at a Work Event – His Boss Confronted Him the Following Day

 My name is Claire, and I would like to share a poignant chapter from my life, which began with deep personal humiliation but evolved into an unexpected journey of empowerment and new opportunities. This transformation unfolded during and after a corporate event at my husband Tim’s boss’s luxurious residence—an evening that was meant to be filled with merriment but instead became a pivotal turning point in my life due to a thoughtless comment made by my husband. As we arrived at the opulent venue, the grandeur of the setting and the elegant attire of the guests heightened my anxiety. Despite wearing my best dress, I felt painfully self-conscious about my postpartum body, having given birth just three months prior. Tim seemed particularly eager to introduce me to his colleagues and their spouses, perhaps hoping to impress his boss. The atmosphere inside was vibrant, with guests engaging in lively conversations while enjoying fine wine and gourmet delicacies. As I attempted to mingle...

How often did the Romans have sex?

Romans were pretty open about sex. Their society wasn't as prudish as later Western societies became. They had a relaxed attitude toward sex, seeing it as a natural part of life. For instance, it was common for Roman homes to have erotic art, and even the city of Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, reveals walls adorned with some pretty explicit murals. But how often? Well, it varied. Elite Romans, who had more leisure time, probably engaged in sexual activities more frequently. They often had banquets and gatherings that sometimes turned into wild parties known as convivia. These weren't just your average get-togethers; they could involve a lot of drinking, feasting, and yes, sometimes sexual escapades. Interestingly, there's a lesser-known story about a Roman named Gaius Petronius, who was a member of Emperor Nero's court. Petronius wrote the Satyricon, a satirical novel that gives us a peek into the indulgent lifestyles of the Roman elite. One ...

A Japanese soldier prepares to publicly behead a young Chinese boy. The massacre began on December 13, the day the Japanese troops reached the city.  Due to multiple factors, the death toll estimates vary from 40,000 to over 300,000, with rape cases ranging from 20,000 to over 80,000 cases. The Japanese army had pushed quickly through China after capturing Shanghai in November 1937. By early December, it was on the outskirts of Nanjing. As the Japanese approached, the Chinese army withdrew the bulk of its forces since Nanjing was not a defensible position. The civilian government of Nanjing fled, leaving the city under the de facto control of German citizen John Rabe, who had founded the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone. On December 5, Prince Yasuhiko Asaka was installed as Japanese commander in the campaign. Whether ...
