[mp5stab]

We really need to do one of these for female crucifixion!

Yo're not alone, DP. @Luises was a few days faster.

Oh well, I did a quick search on the site but couldn't find the other post. Maybe just delete this thread then, or combine it with the previous one. There doesn't seem to be any point in duplicating threads

Good news! The University of the Virgin Martyrs selected Nancy Cross for a crucifixion study to see how she would die. Being a scientific study, Nancy willingly agreed to participate.

Her enthusiasm waned a bit when she was nailed to the cross and completely disappeared when the cross was raised... but despite her pleas to be released, the study was carried out to its conclusion...

And what have we learned?

Read the fine print before you agree to participate...

I have come across this video about crucifixion:

It talks about how and why Romans crucified people. The link starts the video when it begins to cover the process of crucifixion and its effects on the condemned's body, but the first half, which talks about the origins of crucifixion, who it was applied to, and the social impact of it, is interesting, too. Even if most of what is told in the video may be known by members of this forum, I think it is a nice exposition of the knowledge we have about this form of execution.

Crucifixion: The Process and the Monstrous Logic Behind It​

Found this interesting video on Youtube which should garner some interest in here;

Nothing terribly new, but I am always amused when I spot a visual "out of place". Some years ago I saw a church ad for their Easter services which used a crucifixion image which I knew had come from Xena, the figure was actually Gabby but you had to know that, it wasn't obvious. In this video at 6:42 minutes there is a slow tracking shot of a mass crucifixion which is taken from the "Always look on the bright side of life" musical sequence from Life of Brian.

I am sure if someone wanted to do serious crucifixion research, they could find many volunteers here on CruxForums to be test subjects.

All squabbling, undoubtedly, over who gets to go first

Sure, there are volunteers, but they always change their minds once they are on the cross!!!

Or, they could contact the models who have worked for IM and others.

Well, let the research begin.
