Why do asian countries bury alive each others prisoners? You

Saves the trouble of having to bury them when they're dead?

I don't know, probably something in Buddhism.

Not sure if that counts as Western, but I saw a few incidents on liveleak where captives in the Syrian Civil War were murdered like that. Extremely brutal.

I mean native Americans would do something similar by burying you up to your head with you either next to a hill if ants or letting the wolves/bears get at you and you would die an extremely terrifying and agonizing death.


I think that's about it though really...can't think of really any other western civilization burying people alive.

Serbian officials are documented to have buried alive Bulgarian civilians from Pehčevo (now in the Republic of Macedonia) during the Balkan Wars.[35] During World War II, Japanese soldiers were documented to have buried Chinese civilians alive, notably during the Nanking Massacre.[36] This method of execution was also used by German leaders against Jews in Ukraine and Belarus during World War II.[37][38][39][40][41]

During the Gulf War, Iraqi soldiers were knowingly buried alive by American tanks of the First Infantry Division shoveling earth into their trenches. Estimates for the number of soldiers killed this way vary: one source puts it at "between 80 and 250", while Col. Anthony Moreno suggested it may have been thousands.[42][43]

They know how to treat prisoners and enemies and don't invent faggotry like the ""Geneva Convention.""

That's just the Iraqis having outdated military tactics though. It isn't torturing POWs.

Japs are subhuman

Because being buried alive is one of the painful and frightful ways to die.

Burying prisoners alive in Chinese history occurred largely from the Shang and the end of the Qin Period. So basically 1600s BC to like 200s BC.

It ultimately has its origins in Shang Period human sacrifice by the theocratic Shang Kingdom's Shaman Kings. Although sometimes, the sacrificed barbarian prisoners were beheaded but live burials were also a thing. People who were also buried alive under the Shang Kings were slaves and wives of kings, in order to accompany them into the afterlife.

When the Zhou came to power, they established a feudal monarchy, and the worship of Tian (Heaven). This meant they quit worshipping the Shang's dreadful pantheon of their chief god, Shangdi. With it went the demand for human sacrifices (though wife/slave burial was a thing, to accompany the deceased in Heaven kinda like Indian Sati). By that point, the Zhou sentenced people who committed heinous state crimes to various punishments, among them live burial.

It was actually a dying practice by the time the Warring States and Qin period came around, which all the more makes it terrifying for the Chinese for the Qin Emperor and the Chu-Han period warlord, Xiang Yu, to bury their prisoners alive. By that point it was pure malice.

Well, if you managed to get a box.

But if your cunt enemies just shoved you in a hole and shovelled dirt on you, you're gonna die with dirt filling up your mouth, nostrills, ears, and eyes. In addition to being immobile.
