There's a YT about reconstructing a body from the Turin shroud (which looks like it has a broken nose to me), and as they say, if it wasn't Jesus, it was someone who died the same way. The scourge wounds, estimated to be 600, are marked with red streaks and you can imagine solid blood and missing chunks in real life. Even now lashings and caning are used, and such a large number not given at one time, but spaced out to allow healing--don't know how that is a mercy. What's really sickening is to know that this sort of brutality was common in the past and it took the French Revolution to come up with "humane" execution.
