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...

Human zoos In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Western world was desperate to see the “savage,”

Human zoos Paris 1878


In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Western world was desperate to see the “savage,”


“primitive” people described by explorers and adventurers scouting out new lands for colonial exploitation.

To feed the frenzy, thousands of indigenous individuals from Africa, Asia, and the Americas were brought to the United States and Europe, often under dubious circumstances, to be put on display in a quasi-captive life in “human zoos.”

Human zoos could be found in Paris, Hamburg, Antwerp, Barcelona, London, Milan, and New York City. Carl Hagenbeck, a merchant in wild animals and future entrepreneur of many zoos in Europe, decided in 1874 to exhibit Samoan and Sami people as “purely natural” populations.
In 1876, he sent a collaborator to the Egyptian Sudan to bring back some wild beasts and Nubians. The Nubian exhibit was very successful in Europe and toured Paris, London, and Berlin.


See shocking rare photographs of how the so-called 'human zoos' around the world kept ‘primitive natives’ in enclosures so Westerners could gawp and jeer at them. The horrifying images, some of which were taken as recently as 1958, show how black and Asian people were cruelly treated as exhibits that attracted millions of tourists.

In 1880, Hagenbeck dispatched an agent to Labrador to secure a number of Esquimaux (Eskimo / Inuit) from the Moravian mission of Hebron; these Inuit were exhibited in his Hamburg Tierpark.

Both the 1878 and the 1889 Parisian World’s Fair presented a Black Village (village nègre). Visited by 28 million people, the 1889 World’s Fair displayed 400 indigenous people as the major attraction. The 1900 World’s Fair presented the famous diorama living in Madagascar, while the Colonial Exhibitions in Marseilles (1906 and 1922) and in Paris (1907 and 1931) also displayed humans in cages, often nude or semi-nude.


The 1931 exhibition in Paris was so successful that 34 million people attended it in six months, while a smaller counter-exhibition entitled The Truth on the Colonies, organized by the Communist Party, attracted very few visitors. Nomadic Senegalese Villages were also presented

and toured Paris, London, and Berlin.

Other ethnological expositions included Egyptian and Bedouin mock settlements. Hagenbeck would also employ agents to take part in his ethnological exhibits, with the aim of exposing his audience to various different subsistence modes and lifestyles.

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...

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 viral photo showing what is claimed to be "The Bunny Man", 1970

A viral photo showing what is claimed to be "The Bunny Man", 1970 In 1970, there were 2 police reports which were both investigated. Both reports contained details about a man in a bunny costume with an axe threatening people and in one report, the armed madman even attacked a couple in a car, smashing their windscreen. These events took place in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. Both these events were not investigated further due to a lack of evidence. However, there were 50 more reported sightings of the bunny man in wooded or urban areas. Even newspapers such as the Washington Post reported on the matter. Different headlines include: "Man in Bunny Suit Sought in Fairfax" (October 22, 1970) "The 'Rabbit' Reappears" (0ctober 31, 1970) "Bunny Man, Strikes Again' (November 1, 1970) "Bunny Man Seen" (November 4, 1970) "Bunny Reports Are Multiplying" (November 6, 1970) The incidents became an urban legend that varies between ...
