History's Biggest Slavers (Not Who You Think) Short and informative
2025-12-08
[YouTube] Using statistical analysis, we've calculated the total number of enslaved people across 5,000 years of human civilization—from Ancient Egypt to the Third Reich.

The results challenge what's taught in Western schools.

THE TOP 10 LARGEST SLAVING CIVILIZATIONS:
10 = Abyssinia (Ethiopian Empire) - 9-10 million
10 = Umayyad Caliphate - 10 million
9. Qing Dynasty (China) - 12.6 million (potentially 75-125 million)
8. Ancient Egypt - 13 million
7. Third Reich - 26 million
6 = Joseon Dynasty (Korea) - 28 million
6 + Byzantine Empire - 28 million
5. Delhi Sultanate - 36 million
4. Mali Empire - 57 million
3. Abbasid Caliphate - 63 million
2. Mughal Empire - 112 million
1. Roman Empire - 160 million

No place for the British, Portuguese, or any European colonial powers in the top ten.
