Damn, they used to be bricked up for days? Nowadays they say you should call a doctor after 4 hours.
I'm surprised more Priests didn't choose to be walled up with 8yo boys.
Henry not Percy simon
I'm tryna get bricked up
That is not how to pronounce Antigone
If there’s any hell, hopefully that nun is there. Just when you think the Middle Ages couldn’t be any worse.
Henry not Percy 🙄
Can’t wait for Simon to find out that the train that was bricked up wasn’t Percy
So the christian church started abusing children way back then !
Two of my brothers hated the fact that they had to share the bedroom with me, so they often folded my bed up with me in it and locked me in the closet for hours at a time.
It scared the shit out of me, but I eventually got really good at escaping. Then they started locking me into an old steamer trunk and shoving that in the closet. Good times!
Did you mean Henry 0:28
Simon needs to work on pronunciation of names. He really botched Antigone (Antigonee, not Antigone)
Ah – walling yourself up with a little child and beating her when she didn’t enjoy it – just as Jesus taught. I wish there was a hell for people like that to burn forever
I live in Savannah, GA. One of the most haunted places in America! Skeletons have been found behind walls downtown in many homes!
Seems like an interesting video. Let me just grab some Amontillado from my basement real quick.
BRICKED THE F UP!
Henry got bricked up in the tunnel not Percy. The story can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O60q8r3E3ak
Can you please correct this?
Another exampe from history: In the play Hamlet are two people by the names of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.* Shakespeare got their names from two Danish nobles in London, who had fled Denmark, because one of them had inpregnated a noble young woman, and her father wanted him dead.
After she had the child, she was immunerated…
*Rosenkrantz and Gyldenstierne.
Ehnid say the Persian boat, milk and honey things worse as far as punishments go
For the love of god, Montressor!
00:27
Henry, not Percy.
The girl reindeer from Rudolph got my bricked up
Ahhh religion. What fun, eh?
From horrific executions to child rape, I feel like going out and joining a church so I can join the fun.
So, even if a vestal virgin in ancient Rome was raped, she would be killed in this barbaric manner. How horrific.
In a scene in " The rider on the white horse" a new dyke is constructed at the frisian coast. The workers are stopped from burying a life dog in the foundation by their superior. They protest that the dyke won't hold if there isn't something living buried inside of it and one of them mentions offhandedly that they buried a child in the old dyke a hundred years ago and it still stands.
Also the fate of Elizabeth Barthory, although she might have earned it.
4:44 is a cool bloodborne reference
In Brighton UK, there's a bricked up archway in the oldest party of the city in which it is said a nun was bricked into alive after having an affair. It gives me the creeps walking past it.
Oh it’s the voice actor that reads Wikipedia
Henry was the train that was bricked up btw 😂
Bro 💀💀
Simon
I think, while burning to me is currently the most terrifying, the past would have been milk and honey.
I was just thinking of one of the incidents of this in the TV show Dark Shadows when you flashed a still from it. 😁
Oh no please don't brick me up lol life on easy mode
Henry got bricked up. "Fact" boy
This reminds me of work a few months back, they were short handed kn dispatch so every unit i compleated was pilled up on one side, when we ran out of room we pilled them up in an empty work station the other side. While the line continued sending down units building a wall around me and a coworker.
Coworker: they better move them before break
Me: now i know how fortunato felt
Coworker: ???
Me: the cask of amontiliado?
Coworker: ???
Me: edgar allen poe story, a guy bricks someone up behind a wall and leaves him to die
Coworker: oh great quick tell (othercoworker) to stop
And this practice is still continued today by anybody who enjoys torturing their Sims – or anybody unlucky enough to wander onto the lot 😈
FREE PERCY
4:44 Bro that’s the choir outfit from Bloodborne.
Bro I was eating this fire ass hotdogs n you said that about percy the train n his picture popped up I almost choked to death 🤣🤣😂
As much as I appreciate the fact that these punishments have been abolished as society moved on, I still to some degree wish they, along with other torture methods such as acid baths, impaling, and chopping live bodies into pieces, had been preserved and held for child rapists, politicians igniting war and taking hundreds of thousands of lives for their own greed, and others so degenerate that they don't deserve to be treated as human in order to show society that when someone crosses moral boundaries, their punishment will have no moral boundaries.
"A cask of Amonillado" is pretty much this.
Henry not Percy😢
I have read, that Emperor Rudolf II King of Bohemia and Dalmatia tried to brick himself alive or even did so in the Castle(we call it, the Castle) of my small town, it's according to the Guinness book of records, the largest castle btw. I must return here tommorow to watch this video.
My grandpa was bricked up when he was buried..
…They couldn’t get the pants on him
What about Jimmy Hoffa? Supposedly he was placed in a building somewhere… probably wasn't alive at that point however 🤔.
