ancient forms of torture
Cremation or burial: what seems more appropriate?
I sometimes think about it. I would like to hear what others think. On spiritually, as well as your personal preferences. My thoughts are: Romans, ancient Greeks and did – it was considered as the proper way. The Indians] [type tribe did too. They saw the return of the body toward the sky through the smoke. To be buried [seems] as form of torture or punishment. In addition, there is no guarantee that the cemeteries will be around 1 or 2 hundred years. cemeteries today could be transformed into shopping centers of tomorrow, or new tracks or whatever. To establish a body to rest and have that kind of thinking in the back of my mind bothers me. I thank you in advance for the answers that I can do.
The Catholic Church approves both. The effect is the same. The physical remains are reduced to inorganic matter (ash) due to rapid oxidation, or reduced to inorganic matter (dust) by slow oxidation. In both cases, the body will be resurrected at the last day and joined to the soul as glorified forever.

Ancient Discoveries: Ancient Torture Tech $14.47 When it comes to torturing our fellow man, the evil of humans seems to know no boundaries. From the dreaded rack to burning at the stake, our malevolent ingenuity is as tragic as it is morbidly fascinating. In this documentary, filmmakers explore the science behind some of the most dreaded torture techniques ever devised. It was once thought that the rack worked by snapped its victims’ joints, though we’ve since come to learn that it was, in fact, their bones that were breaking instead. Meanwhile, Vlad Tepes earned the nickname Vlad the Impaler due to his penchant for skewing his enemies on three-inch-wide stakes and keeping them alive for days. Computer simulations and virtual reality recreations reveal the sinister ways these devices worked as doctors, historians, and other experts weigh in with their own theories about the extraordinary levels of pain that the victims experienced in the process of being tortured. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |
