Quoted By:
One of my favorites is :Judas Cradle consisted of a pyramid shaped wooden device and the victim was placed on the top of the pyramid. His or her hands and legs would be tied so that the weight could not be shift elsewhere. The feet were actually tied with each other with the purpose of increasing the pain whenever there was a movement of feet. The pointed edge of the pyramid was slowly inserted in the anus or vagina of the victim and the torture could continue from a few hours to entire days. The time, however, also varied from victim to victim depending on various factors other than their own ability to bear the pain. For instance, sometimes a weight was added to the victim’s legs which increased the pain but also resulted in quick death. Other times, oil was put on the device which again increased the pain.
