Common misconception about ancient times

Chopping someone’s head off with a guillotine was actually considered humane. It wasn’t meant to be brutal at all.

Also, supposedly, a chopped off head can survive for about thirty seconds. I wonder what that’s like. 🤔 Probs not fun.

While we’re at it, fun fact: the origin of ghosts looking like sheets (like in my pic) comes from depictions of ghosts wearing burial shrouds.

Wow, fun facts about death! Yaaaaaay!!!
