A bunch of whack offs? I resemble that remark!
What I don't get is that they have done simple anatomical studies backed up with practical experimentation that shows that someone suspended by that arms over the head like that loses consciousness and suffocates in under 10 minutes. Clearly this COULD NOT WORK. Screw the ancient Greek or Hebrew or any other nonsense. Simple test reveal that it COULD NOT WORK as depicted. Unless they tossed him up and he said all that crap REALLY QUICKLY!
