Who is generally considered the most evil person in human history?

My guess would be Adolf Hitler?

What do you think most historians would say if asked this question?

I can't remember the name, but the guy who used the brazen bull as a torture device for his and his guests entertainment.

That was pretty messed up

@Fishy Genghis Khan Maybe? Apparently he'd submerge people in a vat of water so only their head was sticking out of a few pieces of wood and then boil the water while the person would be screaming and that was dinner entertainment. pretty sick stuff

@Fishy That was Phalaris, a dictator in Ancient Greece.

@bijouxbroussard I often wonder, how deranged in the head someone has to be to even think of a torture device such as the brazen bull 😖

@Fishy He definitely got his comeuppance, though. When Phalaris was defeated by Telemachus, the army used that bull on him.

@Fishy crazy thing too, his first test subject was the engineer that designed and built it.
