While the Bible gives agonizing details of the crucifixion of Jesus, what do we know about what happens to a body undergoing this sadistic method of execution? How does crucifixion kill you?
Crucifixion:
Crucifixion was likely first used in what is modern-day Iran. The vicious method of eliminating one’s enemies spread throughout the ancient world to Greece, where Alexander the Great was known to have used it. The person was beaten savagely with the whip, which tore flesh then muscle, weakening the victim through blood loss and shock. While the aim was to inflict maximum injury, that part of the process was not intended to kill.
We often see images of Jesus Christ nailed to a cross that is high above the ground, but this likely isn’t a true representation of Roman crucifixions.
