What is a blood eagle?
432

A blood eagle
is a very special punishment.

especially angered the gods.
434
00:37:15,651 --> 00:37:20,656
The offender gets
down on his knees,
435
00:37:20,948 --> 00:37:25,870
and his back is
opened with knives.
436
00:37:29,331 --> 00:37:34,378
And then with axes,
437
00:37:35,713 --> 00:37:38,841
his ribs are chopped
away from his spine.
438
00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:44,972
And then his lungs

are pulled out of these

440

and laid upon his shoulders,
441
00:37:52,313 --> 00:37:57,192
so they look like
the folded wings
of a great eagle.
442
00:37:59,570 --> 00:38:05,367

like that, suffering,
