Definitely. Milk and Honey.
Be thankful we live past the age of Scaphism

Thats more of an entrapment/ boat, putrification thing than a milk and honey thing. There's irony in the use of milk and honey.
People used to be staked to the ground, put in iron maidens, and burried to the jaw too.
I suppose feeding someone milk and honey keeps them alive longer.
I'm suspect about them getting stung. They were probably bitten by flies though.
Everyone had parasites then, so I can believe the worms part attributed to abiogenises.
I advocate if a person, and strongly IF a person must be executed, it be swift and merciful.
We shouldn't torture our prisoners either. They should at least be afforded the cares and respects we would grant a dangerous animal or sick pet. Though humans are prone to feelings of superiority and betrayal that complicate this most basic of consideration.
Scaphism is a reflection on the Persians and Greeks and the fears that ruled them, less than on anyone executed in such a way.
