RF2A9R7YR–Sardanapalus was, according to the Greek writer Ctesias, the last king of Assyria. Historians, however, believe it was Ashur-uballit II (612–605 BC). Writers do say he lived in the seventh century and lived a life of luxury and self-indulgence. History says to avoid falling to rebels who threatened and were near to overthrowing him, he built a huge funeral pyre and had himself and his eunuchs and concubines and his wealth all burned on the pyre - as shown here.

Only Englishwoman are capable of this, and it ?s at once touching and horrible.

RMMC6J6W–DRUIDS - WICKER MAN - TORTURE The Roman historians wrote of a method of human immolation practised by the Celts (that is, the Druids).

There is no indication that the Druids did involve themselves in such torture, but the tradition has persisted, sufficiently for a Druid to be present at this imaginative scene. Hand-coloured woodcut, based on the engraving in Aylett Sammes, Britannia Antiqua Illustrata, 1676.
