Indeed it is planned that the wrists of the convicts will all be nailed to their beam before being put back upright and their patibulum fixed at the top of the stipes. Finally after being suspended by their wrists for a few minutes, their legs will be bent and their ankles nailed to the stipes. The crucifixion will then be completed and they can begin their dance of the cross.
Anhour having seen the horrible suffering suffered by Salmu,begins tobeg in vain the executioner who approaches with nails and hammer of his left wrist. He twists in every way trying desperately to detach his wrist. But nothing helps, he is in the middle of a nightmare, lying completely naked, his sex exposed, arms crossed attached to his patibulum, about to be crucified. He can expect no help, no comfort from the crowd who laugh mercilessly at seeing the vain efforts of the poor young man. He stirred so much that a soldier was forced to sit on his chest, knees pressing on his arms, which he held still with his hands. The executioner can then correctly position the nail and hit. Anhour utters a heartbreaking howl and despite the weight of the soldier on his chest camber lifts his ass from the ground and fails to unseal the soldier who clings to his best. The executioner waits for him to exhaust himself and eventually calm down to pass to the second wrist which he quickly pierces and securely fixes to the wood. Now that both his wrists are nailed, the soldier sitting on his chest gets up leaving Anhour screaming while twisting his body in pain.
It is now the turn of Tiresias who begins like Anhour to beg and agitate. A soldier tries another technique to keep his arms motionless: he sits on the thighs of the young man and grabs his testicles in his hand. He threatens Tiresias to crush him if he does not stop agitating and begins to squeeze them. The condemned person begins to squeak in pain and stops resisting. The soldier releases the pressure and the executioner kneels to nail the first wrist. The young man can't help but scream with all his might and arch like the others despite the soldier crushing his balls. The executioner quickly finished nailing his second wrist and passed to the slave, the last condemned.
Amset, who as a child saw the men of his village being stripped naked, flogged and crucified, knows what to expect. He is resigned and only hopes that death will soon come to deliver him from this life of sub-human. A soldier starts to straddling his chest as for Tiresias. He holds his shoulder in place with one hand and grabs his limb with the other. He remains calm and clenches his teeth as he feels the wooden plaque against his skin and the callous hand of the guard grabbing his penis and stroking it. But when the hammer falls and pushes the nail deep into its flesh by cutting nerves, it in turn begins to scream and twist in pain. He cries when the executioner passes to the second wrist and luckily faints when the second nail pierces him.
