Even More Evil Punishments Designed to be Worse Than Death 

I’m totally convinced that in most cases punishments are not about correcting any behavior or wrong doing. It was just to satisfy someone’s urge to exert power over someone else and that’s it.

Most people: “video games cause violence!” Before video games:

The fact that we have methods worse than death are indicitive of human nature.

It's always amazing to me how cruel we can be as humans. I am very glad I wasn't alive back then to be honest.

Flaying legit has to be the worst way of dying I have ever seen, Imagine getting your skin slowly sliced apart with Small cuts usually taking Hours if not an entire day until you are left skinless with all of your muscles and tissues unprotected by the skin will result in even more pain and suffering until day later when you are finally put down

I think it's worth mention that some historians argue that the Blood Eagle wasn't considered a torture but rather an act courtesy from the vikings perspective. The thing is that they believed that a warrior that failed to die in a battle is not going to get to Valhalla after they're executed as a prisoners, and that the only way to get to Valhalla for a prisoner was to become a "Blood Eagle" and to arrive to Valhalla on it's wings. So this kind of executions were to be granted to the most respected prisoners only - ones that, despite being shamefully prisoned, deserved to be in Valhalla after death anyway in the eyes of the vikings. Some say that prisoned vikings would happily become Blood Eagles instead of being executed other way.

Watching these makes me extremely grateful for my life.

Infographics show is the perfect example of efficient use of backlogging. They always have a few videos in their pocket, giving the team the time to produce more content.

bro im glad I wasn't alive back then😅

2:52 why tf would anyone volunteer to try the experiment of the melting gold?😭

Great content and presentation. 😊

2:55 Like any human would volunteer to die in such a way for the sake of an experiment.😂

when im having a bad day sometimes i think about stuff like this ect. to convince myself that it maybe it isnt that bad cuz it could be much worse if i was in a certain situation like this lol

This video makes you realize that your life isn't so bad after all.

I love when they do punishments from history

I love how when the animations talk they only say blah blah blah lol😂😂

The stills of blokes being tortured are truly gruesome. A lot of presentations assume and profligate, for example, that the ribs and vikings thing is a fact. I now know that it only appears once in their literature. Same with the iron maiden and other instruments of torture being made specifically for deterring the general community just by being on view. Whatever the torture it's beyond belief the lengths some governments/rulers etc went to to maintain their status quo.

You should do a video on exposing some of the favorites magic tricks ✨️

I truly love this channel. Keep it up guys!!! ❤❤❤❤

Sometimes animals have more humanity than humans themselves. Shameless!

Informative and dark. Fabulous.

This show is strictly famous for these episodes..... its still awesome but still.......awesomeness

the bamboo torture is no joke. Mythbusters proved it and it was sick.

The way they created death methods were very creative back then ngl

Crassus: "Tell me, Antoninus. Do you think eating snails and oysters is completely immoral?" Antoninus: "You should eat molten gold instead, Master..." Crassus: "Sorry. What did you say?" Antoninus: "No-nothing!"

Magnificent and educational 👍

The world is crazy right now but it is a comfort to know I won't have to endure any of these😂

As a species we are very cruel and enjoy other peoples suffering and not surprised in all the horrible thing we do to each other😞

Imagine not being a convicted sinner. Imagine being an innocent person who's just framed up. For example the King or a High Official fell in love with your wife or husband and subjected you to death and torture just to steal your partner. Or a high official envied your business or livelihood and just framed you up. Cruel Punishment.

These things really make me question humanity

Good video thx again 😊✌️🧘‍♂️❤️👣

We love your videos, keep working hard

13:53...that looks a LOT more than "slightly" uncomfortable, lol!!

20:10 "His John Thomas didn’t rise to the occasion" LoL 😅

Love your content man

This was and is part of human nature ,and always will be💀

I love his impression of the kid 😅

Thanks for the ideas

Poor Ivar the Boneless. Trying to live his best life and everyone knows him as the dude who can't get it up.

That smelting gold punishment must have been only for the rich criminals.

The iron Maiden.. So that's where Miss Tranchbull got the idea for the chokey.

yes , this is the best animation style

2:56 hmm....i wonder why 🤔

My dad was in the Cambodia Khmer Rouge he said that the torture methods used on babies kids and women were insane

My faith in humanity dropped after watching this

Thank's for the video. I'm perfecting my art and this will help me perfect my passion.

Bamboos are actually grass not trees so yeah that’s why they grow as fast as grasses do

POV: you are watching this at bed and its night and yes you are a little scared

Waist chop reminds me of Darth Maul lol

20:05, "The Boneless"? BAHAHAHAHAAA!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for making me relive Snake Pit & Blood Eagle scenes depicted in History's TV Series, "Vikings."

If I was alive back then I wouldn't leave my house seems like the only way to stay safe

Vertical sawing would be much worse typically not counting technique in the Chinese method… Blood instead of flowing down and out, would not pour out as quickly or as much- and the flow to the head would be maintained… prolonging death.

Why does this feel like BE AMAZED

ik this is a video about torture but I'm to busy laughing at the scream sound effects 😂

i cant understand why some harmless videos are forbidden for younger people but this one not:/

Most horrifying way to die, restrained and forced to listen to ed sheeran over and over

"Prepare the Iron Maiden". "Iron Maiden? EXCELLENT!!!"

I would say the worst one is money that causes the most pain

Ouch ouch ouch okay okay I turned my husband into a cat. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am grateful that we live in this Era

Very Interesting series

The story of Ragnar Loðbrok is amazing. The TV show Vikings also did a pretty good covering of it for people that don’t read.

Amazing animation! You guys are next level!

One of the worse ones has to be the Brazen Bull it's a really Evil and cruel Punishment.

This was...horrific☹

you are inspiring me well

One weird things i noticed in this video was the mention of serbians that used some methods in the Hungarian revolution??? This doesn't make sense at all, don't see how author managed to make such conclusions since a lot of factions and nations were involved in the revolution. Feels like random "fact" was put there without any contest or any logic at all.

The Infographics Show, can you do another video of weird punishments given instead of prison?

2:56 "unfortunately" no humans would volunteer. UNFORTUNATELY??!!

Viewer discretion is advised

“I sentence you to Drowned in Gold”

I love the sound effects in the animated bits 😂

Congrats on 12 million subscribers

3:55 Imagine having Tryonaphobia…

there are gore websites out there where people upload phone footage of recent torture like 2020, 2019 etc. The cartels in Mexico are known to send videos to rival cartels when members get tortured as warnings. One I saw was this guy getting flayed from neck down to his waist amd leaving the skin like a skirt. Warlords in many African countries still use torture to dissuade

What a funny guy😅 Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch…ok ok, I turned my husband into a cat, 😆 This is hilarious, that's why I love watching the Infographic show.

When he mentions myth busters I like there episodes it’s fun to watch

Very good video

That's nothing compared to when your parents tell you to pause an online game...

I guess if the torturer was in a bad mood, the torture would be allot worse?

Am I the only one who kept laughing hysterically at how crazy some of these methods would be? 😂

4:24 always look on the bright side of life

i couldnt even imagine how a human would feel being tortured this way, like how could you even wish upon someone that did such a little thing this? we humans really are monsters (150k views)

*my life is suffering*

I am really hopeful I never experience pain on such a scale. For me, it seems, the thought of pain is worse than pain - I’ve been cut, beaten, and burnt but I nothing’s caused quite the agony of the sorrow of thought.

What? A quality video? No way!

The molten gold thing reminds me of a certain form of execution in Jewish law. There are four methods of execution - סקילה (stoning) חנק (choking/strangling) הרג (beheading) and סרפה (burning). That last one is really just pouring melted lead down the convict’s throat. Each one is the punishment for a certain crime, it’s not like you can pick, and they are carried out by סנהדרין, the Jewish High Court, which doesn’t really exist anymore. The idea behind these specifically is that by dying such a brutal death, the person’s sins will be forgiven in the World to Come. Grim, aren’t they Also Hebrew is really hard to type and format with English rahhhh

I've played the most violent games and watched the most violent movies but still haven't brutalized any human being. But I know bosses or politicians that violated and tortured other people.

Pyschological torture has long lasting effects I imagine all torture does but in psycical torture you may get relief

13:20 about the Iron maiden. They were used as humiliation, but they had no spikes. Someone once thought they were cooler with and everyone believed then the og one had them, but they didn't. Media portrays the spuked version so much causing the information to spread but well...

Those are rookie punishments, we all know the worst way to be tortured would be to stub every single toe on the victim

Thank god we don’t live in those times but on the other hand America is going crazy

Hope everyone is having a great Friday :)

The pit of snakes I seen that in vikings

Why wouldn't you reference Vikings where they literally did exactly this and Ivar did pour molten gold down the Christians throat?

Ragnar's pit was full of black adders. A common snake in the UK can even be found in northern Scotland. The pit he died in is located within The Black Gate, inspiration for the Black Gate or Mordor some might tell you. The Black Gate is in Newcastle, UK were I am from. It had many snake pits and was a prison guard house there unspeakable things happened to people. You had to go through The Black Gate to get the castle and it's grounds

I'm surprised The Brazen Bull wasn't mentioned here. That was one cruel punishment!

4:06 out the gate, first servant of state
