Regardless of whether jesus was the son of God, or even a real person, this is how cruxifiction was done. Also, the cross looked like a capital "T" Which make perfect sense, that way the nails holding it together need only keep it from moving, as opposed to bearing weight. And the ankles were nailed sideways, not through the foot. Also, when possible, the person way simply nailed to a tree. Saved alot of work.
