yo what the fuck
Like most of these “oh my God so brutal” execution methods, scaphism probably never actually happened or is at least exaggerated. Ctesias wrote the only first-hand account of the punishment ever being delivered and his credibility among modern historians is a bit… questionable. Plutarch’s own writings on scaphism were lifted straight from Ctesias, as well.
Even if scaphism did actually happen like Ctesias wrote, it’s not like it was a normal thing.
even if it happened only one or twice, even if it didn’t happen at all - someone had to think about it in enough detail to create a torture method beyond most people’s imagination
now the chinease/japanese and the human sashimi competitions most likely did happen
The what
look up “lingchi”
I have the feeling I shouldn’t
Edit: Nevermind I already knew about it I just didn’t know it’s name
