I just watched, Dr. Georgia Purdom, molecular geneticist and speaker at Answers in Genesis, presents at the Answers Easter Event, 2020. According to her expertise, the Persians invented crucifixion, but the Romans perfected it.

How exactly was it perfected?

I think the question is simple, what did Dr. Purdom state that the Romans did that perfected execution on the cross?

The book of Matthew says that Judas went and hanged himself.

Luke wrote in Acts 1:18
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

Some people view this as a contradiction. But 'hanging' back then was often by impailment rather than a rope around the neck as we think of from movies about the old west or medeival Europe.

My theorize is an messy impailment of his abdomen on a broken or sharpened tree branch, with his body falling off headfirst, and his guts coming out.

How I had pictured this was a hanging; hung for a few days; bloated body and the rope somehow loosened......

and you get the picture.

Corrie ten Boom wrote that Judas possibly was saved. I hope so.
