16 Lego Torture Devices
Torture has been used by almost all the cultures in order to punish, or to extract truth from a suspect. It has been defined as inflicting pain or suffering, both physical and mental in order to obtain a confession or to penalize the person being tortured.
While there are stringent laws against using torture these days, the ancient and the medieval ages were not so. People were burned at stakes, impaled in fields, and crucified depending on the era they belonged to. Moreover, the medieval torture devices are now legendary and an integral part of the human history.
These crude metal devices made sure that the victims died a slow and excruciatingly painful death. These notoriously elaborate torture devices have been recreated in Lego by many geeks. Here are some of the best Lego recreations of torture devices. Some of them maybe disturbing, but the presence of Lego lessens the unpleasantness of it all.
Lego Iron Maiden
The Iron Maiden was a medieval torture device that enclosed a human in standing position, and pierced him or her to inflict pain or death. This Lego Iron Maiden is one of the most sinister geek creations ever.
Lego Torture Chair
The Lego Torture Chair strangely looks chic, but it is far from being that. It is a recreation of torture chairs that are used to interrogate suspects by targeting certain body parts, or delivering electric shocks.
Lego Crucifixion
We all know what it is to be crucified, but this particular Lego recreation looks particularly scary. The victim perhaps was left to die until the flesh dropped from his bones and turned into a skeleton.
