THE WORST AND, AND MOST PAINFUL AND HORRIBLE METHOD OF EXECUTION IN HISTORY

  The worst, most painful and Horrible methods of execution in history 

1.Rat torture was a method used in medieval times. It worked by putting a pot of hungry rats into a cage that was strapped to the victims stomach.

Then the cage was slowly heated, making the distressed rats chew and claw through the victim, trying to escape.

2.Execution by elephant was an old method of capital punishment in South and Southeast Asia, particularly in India, where Asian elephants were used to crush, dismember or torture captives in public executions. 

The animals were trained to kill victims immediately or to torture them slowly over a prolonged period.

Most commonly employed by royalty, the elephants were used to signify both the ruler's power of life and death over his subjects and his ability to control wild animals.

3. The brazen bull, also known as the bronze bull, Sicilian bull, or bull of Phalaris, was an alleged torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece.

The bull was said to be hollow and made entirely out of bronze with a door on one side. It was designed in the form and size of an actual bull and had an acoustic apparatus that converted screams into the sound of a bull.

The condemned were locked inside the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside was roasted to death.

4.Tickle torture 

It required the victim to be tied to the floor. The victim’s feet were dipped in saltwater and a goat was brought into the room. The goat was attracted to the salt and began to lick the feet. Once the salt was licked off, the feet were dipped into saltwater again and the entire procedure was repeated.
