It needs to make a comeback.
As humanity continues its descent, coming to a public place near you.
PinGGG!........................
If it is sick, cruel and evil … man has done it.
There is only one way to determine if it can actually be done. Any volunteers?
Sounds like a lot of work.
The Aztecs were every bit as violent and cruel as the Vikings.
The Aztecs and Incas would have considered this barbaric ritual as part of a long apprenticeship. Something a new priest would do to get his fingers wet and prove himself worthy to perform annual sacrifices, thereby insuring a bountiful harvest.
The amount of adrenalin that the experience would produce in a victim would probably result in a lot of adrenergic twitching, spasms and, "fluttering" even after the heart had stopped beating.
How long before kids are doing this to each other on TikTok?
I hope you are taking notes kids.
B.S.
Lungs don’t “flutter”. Without the suction of an intact rib cage, the lung deflate to very small lumps. Not saying they didn’t try, but the results would be very disappointing.
They just figured this out? I thought the series Vikings pretty much proved such? /s
Yeah, I'm sure the public was just crying out for that ...
the victim would have died very quickly. Therefore any attempts to reshape the ribs into “wings” or remove the lungs would have been performed on a corpse. That last “fluttering” would not have happened.

There seems to be an assumption that the ‘fluttering’ is due to the victim’s last attempt at a breath.
Sorry, the diaphragm pulls and pushes the lungs inside the ribcage.
Lungs outside the ribcage are powerless on their own.
I believe this is the torture mentioned in the movie NORTHWEST PASSAGE(1940) when one of the men describes what happened to his kin by the Indians.
Well I saw it on “The Vikings” so OF COURSE, it was possible...LOL
In other words, the headline is a lie. Because the "Blood Eagle," as performed on the TV show "Vikings," requires that the victim not cry out while the lungs are removed from the chest cavity and piled up on their shoulders. Which wouldn't be much of a challenge if the victim died before they got them extricated from the ribcage.
Every hillbilly who's ever processed a deer carcass knows it's possible to separate the ribs from the spine with a cutting edge and a mallet. It didn't take "a study" to figure that out. The trick is prolonging the suffering so the victims can redeem themselves by enduring silently and stoically and in that act of bravery gain admission into Valhalla.
It's equally obvious that even if you removed the lungs without killing them, they would suffocate in seconds with their lungs on their shoulders because the bronchi are pliable and would kink and/or collapse if bent to such an acute angle.
This article must be some sort of woke joke.
