This article overviews the history of the creation of the death penalty. It describes different methods that different countries in many time frames used. It is almost fascinating to know that capital punishment has been around for thousands of years. Starting as far back as the Eighteenth Century B.C. and still continuing today. Since this tradition has been going for so long, it only means that it is successful and necessary. Today, however, execution is more humane. In the earliest stages, methods like crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive, and impalement were used. In later centuries, methods like boiling, burning at the stake, beheading, and drawing and quartering were used. This very useful information can promote the fact that since capital punishment has been around for so long, it is necessary to keep.
