10 Brutal Ways to Die by Torture in the Ancient World

PL they eat through anything. Thus, it comes as no great surprise that humans made a torture device out of them in the ancient world. 

 

Typically, a rat was placed inside a small cage positioned against the victim’s abdomen. The cage was heated from the outside—either by a candle, flaming stick, or hot coals—causing the rat to become agitated. So, how could it escape? By clawing its way into the only available soft surface—human skin. Quite quickly, the rat would gnaw its way into the victim’s bowels, eliciting unbearable agony in the process. This technique effectively got information out of prisoners and played on their psyches, adding a psychological element to the torture.

8. The Rack: Stretching the Body


Another brutally famous torture device in the ancient world was the rack. It involved a table, usually wooden, with axles and levers at both ends. The victim was forced to lay down, after which leather straps/belts bound their wrists and heels. The straps had chains or ropes tied to them, which wound over the axles. One or several torturers would then slowly push the levers, causing the axle(s) to rotate and produce tension in the chain(s). This caused the straps to dig into the prisoner’s skin and gradually stretched their body outwards.
7. Keelhauling: Dragged Under

was practically 100 percent. If the person did not drown, they suffered severe head trauma from repeatedly smacking against the keel, as well as deep lacerations from the barnacles and other aquatic growth present on the hull. If they survived and were hauled back on board, death would most likely still result from wound infections.

Woman With ‘Two Vaginas’ Says She Uses One For Work And One For Personal Sex

Image
Bringing a whole new meaning to not mixing work with pleasure, this OnlyFans star has shared what it is like to have two vaginas where she uses one professionally and the other for personal sex. Adult content creator Evelyn Miller didn't find out until the age of 20 that she'd been born with two vaginas and two wombs. The 31-year-old from Queensland, Australia, began working in the sex industry after a relationship breakdown and made sure she kept one vagina for use in her work, and one for her personal life - which seems rather efficient. She explained: "I worked as an independent escort for about seven years travelling around the world. "I was able to use one vagina for work and one vagina for my personal life, which made the work a lot easier emotionally and physically for me." After stopping doing that, she moved over to OnlyFans and began creating adult content which earns her $75,000 USD (£54,829) per month. Evelyn puts her success down to having two vagin...

Couple Caught Very Clearly Having Sex on Board Airplane

Image
We never thought we’d need to say this, but here we go: There’s a big difference between getting married on board an airplane and having sexual intercourse on board an airplane. The former arrangement can be pretty romantic, despite its unusual setting, as evidenced by the video below, on a Southwest flight this week.  The latter, though? It’s just weird and gross and dirty, despite being sort of admirable in its own way. We say this because a man and a woman were recently videotaped while very clearly getting it on while flying about 35,000 feet over the ground. This isn’t the first time a couple has joined what society has deemed The Mile High Club, but it’s gotta be one of the first times they have dared to do so without going into the bathroom first. Seriously! These two just starting humping on their seats! “My mom and dad were just trying to have a peaceful trip to Mexico and then they sent me this……..” Twitter user @kileytully wrote alongside the borderline NSFW footage, wh...
