My favorite part of this story real or not is how after the king died the people grabbed the bull and chucked it in the ocean.. No one was like " now its my turn to use it" they just wanted the thing gone

Makes me really grateful to live in this era.🙏

How horrible humanity can be that this torture death invention ever existed.

I always wonder how we humans in the past were able to come up with these extreme methods of torture but I do see how it was efficient in scaring people to not commit any crimes and how the methods of torturing/ un aliving people have changed. Keep up the great work!

I like how whoever wrote this video just threw in the side story about the man’s love Lyra to inflict extra pain on the viewer

Even as a cartoon this is pretty traumatic

I remember learning about this from my high school Latin teacher telling us about Ancient Rome. It was not hard to instantly understand this was probably the worst torture ever.

I'm 100% sure whenever someone was cleaning one of these from the inside, the hatch was closed and a torch was lit outside it as a prank.

Besides just the sheer, excruciating, unimaginable pain,  

there is also the psychological effect of it being in an enclosed space and pitch black.

Imagine designing you own death to be as tortuous as possible.

Poor victims of this Bull, it makes me cry. Hope they are in paradise now

[AlexTommo]

You wouldn't want your worst enemy to experience this amount of suffering. The only people who deserve it are those who seek pleasure in the Bull's victims.

[Frolkinator]

Of all the ancient torture devices, this one is a pretty bad way to go.

I once watched a movie entitled 'immortals' lead by Henry Cavill where there was a scene in which three virgins where cooked alive inside a brazen bull. That was the first time a movie or a movie scene traumatized me, although I have watched multiple gruesome films before. The thoughts of being roasted alive feels more terrifying than crucifixion or any other.

how can people be so violent, its unimaginable

[ruzcelbeltran]

The punishment back then is too brutal

[LoveHandle]

“The Brazen Bull” also sounds like a game team tbh.🐂

[arsenhere]

Honestly I'm glad the inventor got the brazen bull treatment. Why make something like that without taking it out for a spin yourself?

Edit: I have been enlightened to the fact that he didn't want to make the brazen bull in the first place and that the king forced him to. Means the king is even worse.

Men like Alexandre, real legends. Someone had to suffer so that a way can be paved for us🙌
