A barrel is then strapped over the rats, trapping them inside. From there, the barrel is set on fire, and in their desperate bid to escape the flames, the rats eat their way through the victim's internal organs. With their sharp incisors, the rats will gnaw their way all the way through a victim's back.]]> 2017-12-19 13:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217218738 1066927 https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217471704 2017-12-20 12:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217471704 1242279 https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217474891 2017-12-20 12:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217474891 1242279 https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217475036 2017-12-20 12:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217475036 1242279 https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217475042 The Norse war god Odin was the recipient of Blood Eagle sacrifices before battles and after. Once the back was cut open, ribs broken, and lungs ripped out, the flesh was then rubbed with salt. The term eagle was used by men who rejoiced "to crush their most ruthless foe by marking him with the cruelest of birds."]]> 2017-12-20 12:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217475042 1242279 https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217475060  Viking Blood Eagle was done by carving an eagle onto the back of one's enemy, prying his back open by detaching his ribs from his backbone, and pulling his lungs through the opening. The lungs were then spread over the ribs, giving the impression of wings. This made the body look like a spread eagle, albeit a mutilated one. A Blood Eagle could be performed by simply carving an eagle with outstretched wings on the naked body of one's enemy. To add cruelty, it could also be done by cutting open an enemy's chest and pulling out his lungs, making him appear winged from the front. ]]> 2017-12-20 12:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217475060 1242279 https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217687950 2017-12-21 13:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1066927/ux8w05gabify/wish/217687950
