However the Discovery channel has a show called machines of malice, where they show ancient torture and execution devices and try to recreate us.
In the first episode we've seen
The brass bull - A hideous brass bull with a horn in it. The victim is put in it and a fire is lit below that, the horn amplifies his or her screams and it sounds like a bull
The wicker man - an amazing piece of engineering where victims and livestock are executed by fire.
The great wheel - The victim is strapped to a giant wheel and pushed down hill
Another machine built by the spartans that looks like a woman but has a deadly hug with spike lined arms.
The crucifiction - one of the most painfull deaths.
And many more. Its a three part series covering execution and torture devices throughout history.

Okay, I just watched 5 parts of this on Youtube.
Man, some of those are downright scary.
