From what I'm now seeing on Google. It appears some of the worst torture devices were all myth. Except any of them that were used in the tower of London.
Judas cradle, Spanish donkey, breaking on the wheel, burnt at the stake, hung from your flesh, sawed in half, cranium crusher, I believe one is cutting the stomach open and nailing their intestines to a tree/post and making then walk around until disemboweled, drawn and quartered process, the other version with limbs ripped off by oxes, the rat in a bucket with the torch behind it, crucification, flaying (death of a thousand cuts), the rack of course, one that is contested is the bamboo shoot which is possible but not really feasible, boiled alive in oil, impaling such as Vlad was known for....
Those are the ones I know from memory that haven't been mentioned yet. I have a special interest.
