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.

Shock of the nude: Femen's fight for women's rights comes to London

Shock of the nude: Femen's fight for women's rights comes to London Activist group Femen caused anarchy in the Ukraine when a male co-founder suggested they bare their breasts to make a bigger impact. But in an age of outrage at Page 3, can such tactics bring about long-lasting change — or are they little more than topless stunts? Viv Groksop is briefed on their next battleground: London Walking down a grungy street in the 18th arrondissement, not far from Montmartre, it’s fairly obvious which building is the headquarters of the Ukrainian-born women’s movement Femen. Emanating from what looks like a disused cinema come ear-piercing Amazonian battle cries. Inside are piles of clothes topped with discarded bras. There’s a brush and a palette of war paint on the table. There are slogans daubed on the walls: ‘Muslim women, let’s get naked’; ‘Femen is the name of the new woman’; ‘Women, spring is coming’; ‘Our mission is protest. Our weapon is bare breasts.’ And one in Russian: ‘Put...

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...

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...

EYE OPENING PHOTOS OF EXECUTIONS TORTURERS FROM NAZI CAMP.

Eye opening photos of executions torturers from Nazi camp The Holocaust is a dark chapter in human history, and the atrocities committed during that time are almost incomprehensible. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is the punishment meted out to the perpetrators of those crimes. A recently discovered collection of photographs provides a glimpse into the executions of Nazi war criminals, many of whom were responsible for running the concentration camps where millions of innocent people were murdered. The images in this collection are not for the faint of heart. They depict men and women who committed unspeakable acts of cruelty, receiving their just deserts. These photographs serve as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, justice will be served. They also serve as a warning to all those who would engage in similar conduct in the future that there will be consequences for their actions. The release of these photographs is also a call to action. It is important that w...

Southern Iran: A Mechanic Tragically Lost His Life After Being Pulled Into The Engine Of A Boeing Passenger Jet At Airport

Abolfazl Amiri, a local mechanic, was conducting routine maintenance on Varesh Airline’s Boeing 737-500 when the incident occurred. The engine on the right-hand side had been started for a test run with its cover flaps open, and a safety perimeter had been established around it, as required. Unfortunately, while realizing he had forgotten a tool on the engine, Amiri returned and was sucked into the engine before it caught fire, resulting in his death. Amiri’s remains were recovered following the response of the airport fire brigade. Iran’s aviation authority has initiated an investigation into the accident. In a separate incident in May, a man died after being pulled into the engine of a KLM passenger plane at Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport. Passengers and crew members aboard the Embraer 190 aircraft reported hearing a loud, distressing noise from the engine, which quickly began emitting smoke. The Dutch Royal Military Police, investigating the incident, later concluded that the man had i...

A horrific photograph of an execution in eastern Europe during the second world war

 A horrific photograph of an execution in eastern Europe during the second world war can be seen in Holocaust archives and museums around the world.  But who are the killers, who are the victims, who took it - and why? Janina Struk felt compelled to investigate Two naked men stand on the edge of a pit, an older man several feet behind them, while a man and a boy, also naked, walk into the frame. Surrounding them are seven perpetrators, some armed, some in uniform, some not.  A uniformed man on the far right-hand side of the picture is standing on a mound of earth, presumably dug from the pit, seemingly directing proceedings. The caption reads: "Sniatyn - tormenting Jews before their execution. 11.V.1943." I first saw a copy of this image as I was filing through photographs in the Polish Underground Movement (1939-1945) Study Trust in west London.  At the time I did not understand what I was looking at. I had never encountered a scene quite like it before. The pitiful...

The Secret Sex Lives of the Wild West - The Writer's Journey

The Wild West is often romanticized as a time of rugged individualism and adventure. But while there was certainly plenty of excitement to be found, life on the frontier was also harsh and unpredictable. This was especially true when it came to personal life. Here are some startling facts about personal life in the Wild West: Prostitution was common With a shortage of women in many parts of the West, prostitution was a thriving industry. In some towns, prostitutes outnumbered other women by as much as 25 to 1. “Prostitution was a necessary evil in the Wild West. There were simply not enough women to go around, and men needed a place to go for companionship and release.” — Historian Susan Johnson Marriage was often short-lived. The high mortality rate, combined with the transient nature of life on the frontier, meant that many marriages were short-lived. The average life expectancy in the Wild West was just 35 years old, and many couples lost spouses to accidents, disease, or violence....

An Intimate Look Inside a 1950s Tokyo Bath House

Caution, this post will make you feel like a bit of a Peeping Tom. We’re about to take a rather voyeuristic tour of a Japanese bath house in the year 1951, with LIFE photographer Michael Rougier. It was the year Japan’s post-war occupation by the allied countries would come to an end but the bath house has clearly grown accustomed to its Western clientele of enthusiastic American officers. Rougier captures some telling moments between the bath house ladies and their male clients; at times maternal and respectful and others more flirtatious and audacious. Let’s take our appointment and watch these two cultures curiously collide in the unlikeliest of settings.. All photographs fished out of the LIFE archives .
