And it was reserved when it wasn't being used just as like a pump up thing for battle.

I don't think anybody's served this.

No, I don't think so.

So basically the blood eagle went a little something like this.

No.

The unfortunate captive would be kneeling or laying on their stomach.

It's never been from there.

Yeah, not a good position to be in.

No, just try to get up.

Obviously they would be restrained in some way to prevent them from getting up or breaking free or trying to get the fuck up out of there because something bad's gonna happen.

So first, the back was carved.

Nope.

Sometimes it would be carved in the shape of an eagle, but that was not necessary.

But either way... Back carving.

The thing that was the most important was that they opened up your back in some way.

That was the main purpose.

When they did that, the victim's ribcage was then cut away from the spine with an axe and subsequently pulled out one by one away from the spine and out through the back.
