This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing historic torture techniques. We have all of course heard of some of these historic torture techniques before; think back to Medieval Europe and the stories we’ve heard of people being tied by their limbs and then stretched out to the point of dislocation. Or think of Rome and the horrendous torture technique of crucifixion; most widely known because of, of course, the story of Jesus. Or, of course, the technique of using the pillory - that wooden frame that was used to lock in the head and hands of a person primarily used for the purpose of public humiliation.

These are all historic torture techniques that we are very familiar with. But there are so, SO many more that we are going to be diving into this week. We’re taking things all the way back to Ancient Greek culture, Ancient Chinese culture, and, of course, spending the majority of our time in Medieval Europe.

I think this goes without saying but this week’s episode is particularly gruesome. If you have a bit of a queasy stomach, you have been warned. This is NOT an easy episode to get through.
