This is not a complete history of beheadings as the history is vast and I am not a historian.  But there is so much interesting history on this subject and today Im offering you a portion.  The human behavior when it comes to one chopping off another's head is fascinating and terrifying, maybe its the fact that executions were meant to be gruesome and horrific or maybe that the crowd was way more excited than they should have been.
