Reply to comment by Ulgeguug in TIL of execution by Breaking Wheel that would start with tying the body to a wheel, breaking the bones of the limbs, braiding the broken limbs through the spokes and leaving the body to be eaten by scavenging animals and birds. by muadib1974

And most of them are fake.

Things like the Iron Maiden and the Judas Cradle weren’t real. They were just meant to scare people. I wouldn’t be surprised if the breaking wheel was also fake.
