10. The boat (Scaphism)
Milk and honey were used for torture and caused horrific deaths, so they aren’t just a symbol of a perfect life like many people think. As it was noted in ancient history, this type of torture was probably invented by Persians. A person who was previously fed with milk and honey would be left on a boat, tied. Those two delicious ingredients are causing diarrhea, and the person could not control it in the boat. After the first dehydration and exhaustion, the person was attacked by insects which ate their muscles and skin. This resulted in large open wounds, so the victim was finally eaten by vultures. The person died slowly, hungry and thirsty and in awful pain and horror.
