Fillet, filleting (noun)
My mistake, I had to look it up. Posters are using the correct word: flayed; flaying; flays(verb)
I always assumed the word was French. Awful way to be executed. I am for execution but I would want to be absolutely certain the person is guilty. I have watched several of these videos and think the Romans stopped using gruesome executions because of conscience and allowed some crimes to be less offensive. Then, Rome fell. Almost like what we are doing in America now. If you don't learn from history, you are bound to repeat it.

I'm Samoan. Unfortunately we had a Tapu System (origin of the word taboo. Commoners could be put to death for breaking the serious one with the blow of a heavy war club. That was merciful. I believe that somewhere inside the rulers knew if they were too oppressive, and, would lead to rebellion. So they knew better. I'm so glad we live in the modern era. Whenever I hear Samoan People saw we should go back to how we used to be. We're supposed to evolve.

4: 20 the priests of Zoroastrianism integrated into Persian society
I don't think these people know much of what they're talking about. Zoroastrian was a Persian religion. The priests/magi didn't integrate into Persian society, they were already wholly part of it.
And if you're gonna try and pronounce the name Cyrus with its original Persian accent, then try to get it right. It should be pronounced Koo-rosh not See-rus.

People are so laughable, they somehow want to believe they have out grown their dark side.
It's there, waiting. given the right
Motivation and circumstance the human nature never changes, but people don't want to believe in man's fallen nature, Eve biting an apple is just a myth.

It was not just the Iranians. Theres a very disturbing painting in the town museum depicting, in ghastly detail, some poor chap being publicly flayed alive as a punishment for ether coining some such. The Chinese, the Romans and also the Norse countries All went in for it.

Ok,
These punishments may have been cruel but it's all that works. We're experiencing the results of a liberalized punishment system and it's not good. People need genuine fear of punishment or it doesn't work. We need public gallows at minimum

There is no history written about ancient Iran by Iranians because when Arabs Attacked Iran they burnt Tisophon, the capital of Sassanid empire and burnt the library and all the books. Iran has the oldest cilivization in the world.

This punishment had to be given to Xi Jing Ping and CCP Ministers for spreading virus and killing millions of innocent and creating economic problems for many countries. So today God's punishment is going on in China

The Persiana we're Zoriastrians, and Cyrus the Great considered the first established of human rights. Maybe the great liar Herodotus mixed with what he saw in Israel?

Here's to hoping scaphism was just some greek propaganda. There is no way someone survived 17 days like that. Something tells me they were not bringing him water.

Herodotus was not ''persian born''. He was not an ethnic persian. He was of Greek and Carian descent.

Stoning is still a common occurrence in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Horrible way to die!
