this is awesome thanks, i play a lot of left 4 dead online and i cranked this up and it went great with the game i was in lol. And as always thanks for the upload mate.
XD Do you know about the Duchess of Devonshire Georgiana? *evil grin* Rumors abound that Elizabeth I was no virgin and atleast had one lover. Often monarchs are not as "pure" and or "good intentioned" as they seem.
Someone was usually tied to a tree for the first Viking torture I mentioned. For the Iron Bull.....imagine being slowly cooked in a large over on furnace. Women could be raped to death, men often in outright battle received much cleaner deaths. As you know, women were often prizes of war and went to the victors. They weren't always given to one man and many could be needlessly cruel. You were very lucky if you became one mans slave, paramour, or mistress and he didn't give you to another.
Did you ever see Caligula? There's a scene where a drunken Roman guard is punished by being forced to drink an entire amphora of wine. Then they stick a knife in his gut and it basically explodes. That just about put me off wine for life. *pours himself another glass of Chardonnay*
Yuck, that provides a lovely mental image. I have read a little about him, viewed a few things about him on the History channel, etc. There are so many conflicting sources about him, but if a portion of it is true, he was one sick bastard. I am more aware of his lavish lifestyle, some of projects he completed, and his famous floating pleasure palace found in Lake Nemi. (It was a work of creativity, innovation, and genius.)
Caligula lived take full advantage of his position.
He was a sexually perverted, devious, narcissistic, sadistic, decadent megalomaniac. Just the type of guy you don't want in power, but just the type to fully appreciate said power.
In that period they sure were. Ever here of the antics of his predecessor Tiberius? The sex games held on Capri? And his successors were winners too. Claudius, followed by the legendary Lyre player, Nero. I think I would have made a fine early emperor. My motto would have been 'More Lions, Less Christians'.
This is such climactic music and goes splendidly with the scenes portrayed. (Oh, yes, Crowell turned England into his own backward Puritan playground, lol)
I tend to recognize past Princesses and Queens better than Kings. (Interested in powerful female figures.)
2:19- Louis XIV (He is always in that stupid pose, lmao.)
Charles the I, I believe was driven from England by Mr. Cromwell- religious fanatic and Charles II had to grow up in France. Charles II later restored the monarchy, Charles I was tried for treason.
The 1st is one of the major wars of England, yes? I can't remember which one.
One of them, yes. Ah, I see, I am not very good at recognising many old War paintings unless I can see a key historical figure in them. (I am not interested in the majority of War paintings.) For some odd reason, I adore reading about past battle tactics, the way torture devices works, their creation, and ancient weaponry. Talk about contradiction, eh? If I were to see paintings of it or know the most grisly details, I become green around the gills, though.
I don't really look at war paintings much, but one thing I do appreciate, and no doubt you as well, are the portraits of monarchs and nobles, decked out in 15th-17th C armor.
Have you ever gotten the chance to view some first hand? In a Museum?
No, but I have read about the Viking torture of cutting someone open and pulling their entrails out, or cutting them open and setting their insides on fire. Let's see tying a person to two horses, slapping them, and their extremities are torn off. There was a disgusting Roman torture by a sick man that involved putting offenders (or ones he claimed did so) and his enemies in an iron bull.....he set it a fire beneath--they burned to death. What's even more sickening, it wasn't a slow death.
How about Impalement, Vlad-Style? If he wasn't doing it en masse, the proper procedure was to have a person lying flat on a table of some sort, and have a stake inserted somewhere very uncomfortable, slowly, as a mule was driven forwards in the victims direction. The stake would protrude from the victim's mouth and the would then put into the ground and hoisted, where often they could survive for over a day in that position.
Yuck, I remember that one. Ah, for some Native American tribes you were staked out in the desert and left to die. It would take several days for you perish. If you were a very despised enemy you cound be castrated and they would stake you out there. There are accounts of people surviving scalping, they didn't always die. (These instances are far and few between.)
How about the Japanese water-pumping torture, where they would strap you down with barbed wire, fill your mouth with something so you couldn't breath then pour water through your nose gradually until you could hold no more. They would then beat you until your stomach exploded *Is on the verge of being sick and losing this competition*
The Wheel is what it was called and the majority of the bones in the face could be shattered. Ouch. This is what generally could cause the death on the first rotation because the bone fragments of the face and skull were driven into the brain by the sheer impact. Oh yes, people could survive the wheel until the end, but be critically wounded.
Have you heard about that torture administered by the SS?
They would send you dozens of private messages to complain about things, to the point where the confusion of having so many loosely connected points all flying round your brain would cause your brain to slowly melt and your eyes to combust. Often the victims would become maddened after only one or two, and only those with extremely strong willpower can survive long enough to type out replies.
LOL, I listen to your complaints, concerns, and avid loquaciousness. I can always stop if it bothers you so much and it isn't all the time. You said you didn't mind, so pardon my offense. I know you are taking the piss, but that did touch a nerve.
The lady doth brand me for a charlatan! O shame! shame unending! Shame that manifests an unholy void of sorrow upon my chastised self! The tragedy! Somebody, please take this poor boys hand, and escort him safely from these monsters, these evil, evil men and nasty womenfolk with malign intent.
Sir, for shame indeed! Imminent sorrow is the chastiment for such improper salaciousness, debauchery, narcissism, and overwhelming pride. Hellfire may proceed after, so repent I say! Ye shall repent, or suffer the torture of neverending flame.
*blinks* Bury him alive with a dead person, you receive gruesome psychological torture, severe sensory deprivation, and a slow death by starvation/dehydration with a possible lack of proper oxygen supply as a contributing factor.
Nosferatu was ..probably not worth watching really, lol. Its painfully uneventful, the music is totally anticlimatic (Horror crescendos building up, only to lead to merry, jazzy little numbers at the moment of shock- i mean what the hell?) If you have ever read Dracula, you will be amazed at just how much of the book they scrapped, the sequence of events is but a mere skeleton compared to novel.
I think it first shows up in written records around Napoleon's time. There's various theories regarding it's origin. I think someone had a theory it was just pieced together from various other torture devices, and as a tourist spectacle.
There is a wee bit of Truth to the device though. In ancient times they had a sort of wooden box they'd put people in, and skewer it with swords. A bit like that old magicians stage trick.
If in today's society, mistreatment of children can lead to sadistic behavior & sexually violent tendencies, in later life, imagine the number of mentally disturbed individuals roaming the planet in centuries past. They were exposed to public executions from a young age, many seeing their own relatives put to death in grizzly manners. No child welfare, limited education, zealous religious indoctrination/sexual repression. No wonder we have such relics as the 'Pear of Anguish'.
I watched a film with *shudder* Tom cruise and *shudder* Brad Pitt in it called 'Interview with the vampire' a few years back. I thought it was surprisingly good , actually. Anyway i was sipping a glass of wine when suddenly , without warning, one of the protagonists cuts the breast of a some French woman and started suckling the blood that came pouring out. The grimace on my face as the thick bodied, warm wine trickled down my throat was probably worth paying to see.
Mine too, although too few people i have told about it have actually watched it. Good to see another who enjoyed it. Lestat is definitely the sort of character people like us would appreciate ^^
The Iron Maiden was disgusting, too. There was one torture where someone was tied to giant wooden wheel, it was rolled down the hill, and the damage was extensive. Their organs could be ruptured and bones pulverized. They were lucky if they died on contact on the first rotation. Ick.
A the end? Hm..William of Orange?...Cromwell...Louis XIV...and 2:29 Goddamnit! I know this guy..whats his bloody name...ugh..i get the feeling he's Spanish for some reason...If i had to guess i would say Philip II but I'm quite sure it can't be, he doesn't really fit with the others for a start..why you chose them though? Thats probably something lost on me, too ^^
You got the last 3 right, though the first was Cromwell's adversary, Charles 1st.
The final one was indeed King Phillip 2nd.
They just happen to be the Monarchs/Leaders of the various war mongering factions, featured in the video. You'll notice pics from the English civil war, the battle of Lepanto and some romanticized renderings of the Sun King's border war adventures.
Oh, lol, i wasn't thinking about the rest of the video, for some reason i was wondering whether the piece was related to any of the figures in some way, or if it was the anniversary of a certain battle or war recently that involved France, England or Spain.. I was thinking outside the box, y'see ^_^ Utterly wrong though...
The rest is marvelous though, and i was surprised to find i recognized most of the paintings you featured and more often than not the battles/people in question. Good 'ol Encyclopedia of war ^_^
Ugh I'm well aware how this piece, along with 'O Fortuna' have been abused over the past decade. I'm hoping the elitist snobs who'd watch my videos would be a little more ignorant of pop tv that the two of us. My God, that's a bit to hope for isn't it, neither of us watch T.V.
Thanks to vile TV shows like 'The X factor' etc i have had the misfortune of being more or less
forced to watch in the past , i can barely keep the bile from rising in my throat during the first 30 seconds due to the memories it brings. This piece, and God knows Lux Aetarna as well, have been horribly abused and cheapened by pop culture, often featuring on such shows that feebly try to conjure an illusion of Grandeur by abusing their good names!
