http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazen_bull
"The Bronze Bull, Brazen Bull, or the Sicilian Bull, is a torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece. (...) Accordingly, he cast a bull, made entirely of brass, hollow, with a door in the side. The condemned were shut in the bull and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until it became yellow hot and causing the person inside to roast to death. The head of the ox was designed with a complex system of tubes and stops so that the prisoner's screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. It is also said that when the bull was reopened, the scorched bones of the remains shone like jewels and were made into bracelets." Wtf, dit heeft iets weerzinwekkends, maar tegelijkertijd ook iets heel fascinerends ![]() ![]() ![]() |
