what did the cross Jesus get hung on look like?
This was super hard to build, for the sake of the editing (and not making an over 4 hour video), I ended up cutting out a lot of my blunders and suffering.
Please remember, that I might be completely wrong. I highly encourage you to read and determine for yourself.
Versus’s used:
-Jesus ordered to carry his cross:
Matt 27:31-32
Mark 15:20-22
Luke 23:25-27
John 19:16-17
-Pilate gives the responsibility for Jesus over the crowd:
Matt 27:24-25
-Jesus sign that said “Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews” in Hebrew, Greek, then Latin:

Direct Sources (near the time of Jesus’s crucifixion, or origonal sources):
-To Marcia on Consolation (40AD) - .Seneca the Younger( 4 BCE–65 CE) states: "I see crosses there, not just of one kind but made in many different ways: some have their victims with head down to the ground; some impale their private parts; others stretch out their arms on the gibbet.

-Sigma v. Tau, where Lucian is ‘trialing’ the letter Tau (Greek “T”), and argues that it ought be executed on a cross, it’s very likeness

-New Testament writings about the crucifixion of Jesus do not specify the shape of that cross, but subsequent early writings liken it to the letter T. According toWilliam Barclay, because tau is shaped exactly like thecrux commissaand represented the number 300, "wherever thefatherscame across the number 300 in the Old Testament they took it to be a mystical prefiguring of the cross of Christ".[21]The earliest example, written around the late first century CE, is theEpistle of Barnabas,[22] (chapter 9)

-Clement of Alexandria (153-217) Book VIChapter 11
“They say, then, that the character representing 300 is, as to shape, the type of the Lord’s sign, and that theIotaand theEtaindicate the Saviour’s name; that it was indicated, accordingly, that Abraham’s domestics were in salvation, who having fled to the Sign and the Name became lords of the captives, and of the very many unbelieving nations that followed them.”

-According toJosephus (The Jewish War), during EmperorTitus'sSiege of Jerusalem (70 CE), Roman soldiers nailed innumerableJewishcaptives to crosses in various ways.[2]

-Constantine's vision of a cross at a time when Crucifixions were still a thing (he ended them, in the roman empire):and (The Life Of The Blessed Emperor Constantine, In Four Books : From 306 To 337 A.D.) “He said that about noon, when the day was already beginning to decline, he saw with his own eyes the sign of a cross of light in the heavens, above the sun, and bearing the inscription, “By this symbol you will conquer.” He was struck with amazement by the sight, and his whole army witnessed the miracle.”
*the description of his cross; “It was made in the following manner. A long spear overlaid with gold with a transverse bar laid over it formed the figure of the cross. A wreath of gold and precious stones was fixed to the top with the symbol of the Savior’s name with in it – the first two [Greek] letters of Christ’s name, the rho being intersected by chi in its centre. [These two letters look like X and P.] The Emperor took to wearing the two letters on his helmet at a later period. From the cross-bar of the spear was suspended a cloth, a royal piece, covered with a profuse embroidery of most brilliant precious stones; and being richly interlaced with gold it presented an indescribable beauty to the beholder. This banner was square, and the upright staff, whose lower section was of great length, bore a golden half-length portrait of the pious emperor and his children on its upper part, beneath the trophy of the cross, and immediately above the embroidered banner. The emperor constantly made use of this sign of salvation as a safeguard against every adverse and hostile power, and commanded that others similar to it should be carried at the head of all his armies.”

-they actually have found remains from two men who was crucified, there is some dispute about whether they had their hands nailed or not (although his ankles definitely were). But no one questions that he was crucified on a “T” shape.

-Wikipedia sources (If you don’t like wiki – I totally agree, but it is a good place to start finding sources):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbeting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau_cross
-logically, Jesus's crucifixion was meant to be as quick and painful as possible. Your stronger with your arms straight up as opposed to out to the side. So Jesus was likely on a T shape due to the nature of his crucifixion.
NOTE: somewhere, in this text, St. Irenaeus suggests a non-T style cross, but i couldn’t find it (it is 337 pages however) it seems with the weight of everything above, maybe he was misinformed, or I misunderstood what he was saying. - feeling ambitious?

$300 dollars to build a moving thing. Can I causally build a machine that will trump the best that the Ministry of Organized Chaos (rumble) can do/build? Probably not. But for some reason I'm trying anyways.

preparing to utterly destroy MOC
I have taken a vow to destroy Ministry of Organized Chaos (on rumble). This gladiatorial battle will take place soon. This video is pointless, really just an excuse to call out a larger channel. I hope you didn't cry from the cringe, I was just playing with my new equipment and editing software.

this happens every year! ugh
Quick note: Don't dilute your anti-freeze, I run my vehicles with a higher concentration (70parts antifreeze and 30 parts water). This helps with rust reduction and with mitigating any damage from freezing. I old vehicles that are very forgiving, if you drive a newer car you may want to run a what the manufacture specifies (usually 50/50).
