Nope. that's a picture of Ruth Snyder, the first picture of an electric chair execution. No picture of Martha Place, who was the first woman executed in the chair.Pretty original post, regarding the subject of your publication, I found a photo of Martha Place - the first person in history who be electrocuted
the black death is still around so we have pics of what people would have lookedView attachment 499368View attachment 499369View attachment 499370View attachment 499371 like
Teutoburg Forest was pretty crazy for slaughter.There are countless great battles, difficult to choose from.
If technology to take pictures and record videos existed throughout ancient history, which moment in time, particularly the goriest and one that relates to gore, would you want to see? There are a few I think
would be pretty cool
Black Death - aftermath footage or images of the black death, flourished medieval towns, cities and kingdoms reduced to nothing - bodies piling in the streets - plague doctors skouting - general societal turmoil (mass murder, robberies, famine, cannibalism etc)

Crucifixion of Christ - it would be cool to Christ's crucifixion - flagellation, carrying the cross through angry mobs to the execution site - i imagine the footage would be really shaky, grainy, and be shit just in general

Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian - This Execution in particular is my favorite because according to legend, Sebastian was executed under the hail of hundreds of arrows - leaving his whole body to look like a "sea urchin"

Battle at Stamford Bridge - Of course who wouldn't want to see any pictures or footage of ancient wars and battles, this is ultimately the "final" battle that ended the Viking age of medieval Scavandania and it was brutish bloody battle

I couldn't find any "notable" historical suicides that were worth mentioning here but if anybody knows any feel free to post them. What bloody event in history do you think would be fun to watch?

Just watched this guy recently which was also a good one.
"Agincourt" by Bernard Cornwell? I've read it, great book.I did watch his video recently about how they removed the arrow from king Henry V.'s head. If I got everything right they had a servant during the procedure who had to suck out the goo, blood, and puss out of the wound by mouth after the doctor had to let it ripe for a certain time because he had to invent a special instrument first.
Great coincidence btw; I started to read a historical novel about Agincourt yesterday. From the view of a longbowman and very well researched.
Yes, he writes good entertaining books to get into the early 'British' history."Agincourt" by Bernard Cornwell? I've read it, great book.
(Sorry for the off-topic post.)
There were NO mention of large infestations of rats in medieval plague accounts, and rats are needed for bubonic plague to manifest.
I'm about to start his 'Arthur series' The 'Marius Mules' by SJA Turney is good with the chop 'em up descriptions, so would be good as to getting a good idea on what happens in early wars.Yes, he writes good entertaining books to get into the early 'British' history.
His reading recommendations at the end of the stories are good tips as well.
