What is a blood eagle?

is a very special punishment.

especially angered the gods.
430
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,646
The offender gets
down on his knees,
431
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,887
and his back is
opened with knives.
432
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,360
And then with axes,
433
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,849
his ribs are chopped
away from his spine.
434
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,967
And then his lungs
435

are pulled out of these
huge, bleeding wounds
436
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,249
and laid upon his shoulders,
437
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:57,201
so they look like the folded
wings of a great eagle.
438
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:05,363

like that, suffering,

until he dies.

he may enter Valhalla.
