Whatever terminology you’re partial to using - Sheol, Gehenna, Hades, Diyu, Jahannam, Naraka or just Hell - history is littered with depictions of a brutal afterlife. However, these depictions almost seem trivial compared to the devastating experiences of reality. These hellish, tragic moments in history would expose the luckless individuals involved to pain, torture, suffering, and unspeakable terror. We speak of …

You missed the atrocities, torture and starvation of 2 million plus Cambodians during the Khmer Rouge terror campaign during the years 1975 and 1979
Pol pot was a monster no doubt.
I was surprised that wasn't included.
That was gruesome. Especially the S-21 camp
'Liberals' prefer to ignore he existed. Another stain on communism, you see.
@@Lachausis I’m a liberal and I’ve done lots of research on Cambodia and other totalitarian societies. I’m no fan of any dictators or mass murderers. Hitler was actually a Fascist as was Franco in Spain. Liberalism and Communism don’t go hand in hand.
Can't believe you forgot the Nanking Massacre and Unit 731. The Japanese Empire had a very special brand of cruelty.
Sadistic Sexual Cruelty= disgusting.
yep and what they did to those people was pure sick and wrong.
Holodomor
May their souls rest in peace. And may we also remember the Cambodian genocide by the Khmer Rouge, any harsh dictator who has ever taken power, those who were unfortunate enough to fall victim to the wrong side of captialism during the industrial revolution, the Kurds, Chechnya's struggle, and any other human rights violations that have occurred throughout history. Sadly, youtube's character limit is too small to list them. May they rest in peace.
What about Pol Pot's regime, the Red Terror under Stalin, or the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution? There's a lot to choose from; the trail of tears and general decimation of the Native American tribes, the atrocities committed under King Olaf against the last remaining Heathens in Norway, Vlad the Impaler and the Burning Times or the Salem Witch Trials. Oh, or the height of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Same time as Stalingrad there was Leningrad blockade. Hell on Earth
Leningrad was arguably worse. Not only because they were civilians and did nothing to deserve their fate. The same can’t be said for the Germans. Also surprised to not see Nanking on this list.
Holodomor
You've come so far! Lovin this blast from the past, Simon.
You forgot Unit 731
yes, there's a movie sort of movie about it which I don't recommend to watch
It's top 10 , not top 20, or 15
@@Christinebanks11 Yeah ....the saddest thought: that people have done enough heinous things throughout history that they can't ALL fit in a Top 10.
Still no mention of Belgian rule in the Congo then. Where up to ten million plus Congolese were either killed or worked to death between 1885 and 1920 by Belgian Colonists and Colonial authorities. Or the famines created by British economic policies in the 1780's, and 1870's to 1890's which killed as many as ten million people each, or the death by famine ( again in India) of around three million in the 1940's under British rule by a policy that Churchill candidly called the "Starve India Policy". Patriotic correctness even seeps into list videos, where Western atrocities and crimes are again ignored.
Go here: ruclips.net/video/6_ZH2_pjqLQ/видео.html
for more on the Congolese Holocaust.
Someone must be talking about it seen as its not mentioned in the vid but someone still talks on it in the comments. Maybe your agenda is to not talk about a slave trade that whites par took in and built a nation on the back off and focus on another group of people all together.
Most white nations never practiced slavery, but instead suffered it from muslims and asian tribes. That's why I don't focus so much on what happened in america, it isn't part of my history, muslims are and not enough people talk about it.
And many nations were build by slaves, not just U.S.. But I agree that slavery in most forms is pure evil
9_ R4P4CK what you said makes no sense. Many white nations had slaves Greece and Rome was built on it. They both would not have worked without it. And I'm just naming the big nations.
And africa was any better at that time? Or Asia? America? That is how ancient world worked, but most of Europe moved on much faster than rest of the world. And muslims practiced slavery for most of their existence, unlike Greece. And at time of Rome, as I've already said, rest of the world wasn't any better.
"Had the one thousand soldiers known what awaited them in the mangrove swamp they would have surely surrendered to the British"
No they wouldn't have. They would still go in.
To the Japanese surrender was worse then death.
Probably more likely they would've mounted a bayonet charge. More honorable death than running from your enemy into crocodiles.
On a list like this , groups are bound to feel left out. There is not a list long enough for all the horrors humans have comitted aganist each other. What you did cover , you covered it well and delicately.
These type of videos are not only informative but they remind all of us who live in normal democratic nations how petty & insignificant our everyday problems really are. As well as teach us the darkest, most evil parts of human history in order to avoid ever repeating these atrocities against our fellow man. We all feel down, unhappy or depressed about life from time to time. And then we see this type of video that instantly snaps us back to the reality that we are truly blessed to be alive in these times of relative peace & comfort, despite all the struggles & problems of the modern world. Keep up the great work, Toptenz, humanity needs these wake up calls now more than ever!
Also Unit 731, I dare say that rivals most of the entries on this list.
I think you missed 2 really big ones: the Soviet Union under Stalin and the entire history of North Korea.
***** They also missed the Bodo League massacre, when the South Korean government executed at least 100 thousand and possibly 1.2 million civilians (including children) on the suspicion of being communists in the first months of the Korean war. Some people were tied together and thrown into the sea to drown, to save bullets. Others had their backs broken and were shot later.
Then the massacre was blamed on North Korea for decades.
Kristina S. Actually the S. Korean government hid it from the public.
~Mini Flandre~
"Reports from American officers on the killings were suppressed for years, and whenever rumors of the mass executions surfaced, the *U.S. government attributed the shootings to the “barbarism” of the North Koreans*. In South Korea, one could be imprisoned for repeating stories of the atrocities many years later. This dishonesty - and complete suppression of information - persisted for nearly half a century."

Guess I should have done my research.
Phil Ad no is pretty bad though.
What about the Hiroshima/Nagasaki nuking? There were people walking around with their eyeballs in their palms, children without legs dragging themselves, and people with melted faces wondering blindness. Those places during that time would, for me, be the #1 Hell on Earth!
Anyways, subbed and liked!
Well many would die, but nuclear bombs back then are waaaay less powerful compared to today, so there would be plenty of survivors as well. You can RUclips videos of survivors describing things like what I said!
***** I'm sure more Japanese would have died in a mainland invasion, but I do agree that nuclear weapons are a terrible device.
Genghis Khan Perhaps more would have died but the fact that nations, including the United States, still threaten others with nuclear force quite regularly is pretty terrible. Hopefully nobody completely insane runs a nuclear nation anytime soon. There have been so many close calls during the last 60 years that it's actually pretty terrifying.
I do agree that those bombings were as close to hell on Earth as we will (hopefully) ever experience. Some of the more graphic footage makes a person want to be at the epicenter and vaporized than deal with the horrific aftermath.
#Truuuuuu
The Belgian Congo? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Leopold II. There's a picture of him smiling and showing off the stump of a child which he chopped the hand off. 15 million died.
Revise your list. Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge from April 17 1975 to January 7 1979 was in proportion to population and scope one of the most murderous regimes in history. around one fifth to one quarter of the population was killed. the entire country was in effect a giant slave labor and death camp, to this day mass burial sites are still being discovered. under Pol Pot's leadership no one was spared ALL were equally suspect even the Khmer Rouge cadres. Autogenocide.
Bruh....how the hell do you get Yang-go from Django? I swear you do this on purpose some times lol
The saddest thought: that people have done enough heinous things throughout history that they can't ALL fit in a Top 10....
WOW!!!! I just went through the comments and I am wondering why people watch this channel. If all of you can make a better list then make a video and post it. Not everything can fit into a top 10 list... good grief. I love TopTenz and think they do a great job. Thanks Simon.
Aaron A. Asbury the list was just not accurate. I watched it assuming that it would have truth in it, not just what is spewed out at public schooling. Much of these events are placed in the wrong order or shouldn't be on the list because of something much more terrible like the Atlantic slave trade could've been replaced with the ottoman and Persian empires enslavement of africans. They were enslaved for several hundred years and treated much worse with a higher casualty rate. All slavery is bad but why put one on the list when there is another instance that is much worse
Your videos are amazing! Full of information. Best top10 channel by far!
Without including Soviet gulags and mass starvations and the starvation and cannibalism of Mao's failed Great Leap Forwads, you can't call this a serious top 10.
Maos Great Leap Forward is the great Chinese famine. He did mention it
Great, informative video! You have a new subscriber! Keep up the good work!!!,
One thing I should mention. The Hutu and Tutsi were not really "age old enemies". The two groups only started hating one another after their German and later Belgium colonisers set up a system of institutionalised racism. The Germans and later the Belgiums classified the Tutsi as "Hamites", descendants of Ham, son of the biblical character Noah, while they saw the Hutu as a subhuman group, partly as a way to justify their colonisation of the land and the "bringing of civilisation to it". As such the colonisers set about taking power from the Hutu and placing control of the nation with the Tutsi to rule in their place. The Tutsi, some of them anyway, filled the role of effective slave owners over the Hutu. While the actions of the Hutu against the Tutsi were indeed atrocious, and while the treatment of the Hutu by some of the Tutsi prior to that was essentially a master and slave one, these tensions were not age old but were instead fairly young and imported by the German and Belgian colonisers.
Aside from that a very interesting argument.
I do love the narrator's voice and I think this video is one of the ones where his tone really adds to the feeling of the segments. He sounds pensive and serious. Despite the topic, his voice in this video is a real joy.
the great chinese famine wasn't in 1949 but in 1959
Unit 731 in Japan.....
Yango Unchained... LOVE your accent. definitely subscribing!
Great job Simon!
I watched a doco recently about those Japanese soldiers in ramree river getting eaten by the crocs. Apparently after thorough investigation of both Japanese and British soldiers that was there as well as different documents. There was not as many Japanese eaten as once mentioned. There was death by the crocs but nowhere near the amount they originally claimed, after the investigation they even got it changed in the guiness world records to the more accurate findings
You missed a few:
Ukrainian famine (holodomor)
Armenian Genocide
Black Hole of Calcutta
Cambodian Killing Fields
The Rape of Nanking
Hear hear
Kinda surprised the Inquisition didn't make the list...
Mistah J. Because from the 10 cases, 2 were about Jews. Jews don't represent the whole world. There are other people who also suffered. What about Holodomor, Nanking Massacre, Armenian Genocide etc.....
I can't say I enjoyed it, but it put me in touch with what our species is capable of. And took away my appetite for lunch.
Amazing..didn't know it was a competition who can claim the nastiest
I'd think the injustice of slavery should be #1, as numerous atrocities lasted for over 400 years in America alone. The boat ride was just the beginning.
dn simmons thank you!! For anyone to believe otherwise is just crazy!
What about the injustices & treatment of the native people's of the continent after 1492 ?
Slavery wasn't that bad, not that many died..
And slavery was every all of history
"In 1949, some ten years after the Communists took power in China..."
No: 1949 WAS the year the Communists took power.
This mysterious man is right.
''Top 10 most weird religions of all time...'' can be a really interesting theme
I honestly enjoy sleeping to this guys videos. His voice is naturally chill
Belgium's treatment of the Congolese during the reign of King Leopold ll. That monster makes Hilter look soft.
Those German soldiers who survived the battle of Stalingrad and were captured got to experience another hell on earth that didn't make it onto this list: Gulag.
On the subject of the Soviet Union: If the Holodomor wasn't in the running for this list, it damn well should have been.
I know it seems so, but there's an accident of history here: Many people who survived and witnessed Hitler's horrors ended up in countries where they could write and publish. The same isn't true of the people who survived and witnessed Stalin's horrors. I think this is the biggest reason why the West is saturated with knowledge of the Holocaust and knows little if anything about the Holodomor. It's not that the West doesn't care, it's that it doesn't know.
Arkadia Moon He didn't just kill Ukrainians , He killed and displaced people from the baltic states ,chechnians , bellarussians , german pows, cossacks, tatars, kulaks,kulmaks and poles. Not to mentions intellectuals, gays, jews,muslims ,roma, political prisoners and ordinary russians. Also he wiped out most of the red army officers.
What about the Killing Fields of Pol Pot? The combined effects of executions, strenuous working conditions, malnutrition and poor medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the Cambodian population. Approximately 3 million people lost their lives.
What an interesting list.
So, this is the darkest episode in human history?
What about what the Japanese did to the Chinese during the second Sino-Japanese War?
There’s no denying that what happened to the Jews at the hands of the Nazi’s was one of darkest chapters of human history, the Japanese murdered much more Chinese. It’s truly a shame that wasn’t even mentioned on this list.
When you study the central tenants and practices of the ancient Aztec religion then you may wonder if the ancient Aztec culture were human as well.
The idea that the supernatural world runs on human blood, and since the supernatural world controls the natural world, human sacrifices must be made regularly to ensure that the supernatural and the natural world functions properly.
Their numerous festivals dedicated to their gods, most of which involved the sacrifice of live victims. Even the skinning of people while alive and then wearing their skin while parading around the towns.
How would you react if you came across such a people on your journeys?
Tenets, not tenants. Tenants can follow tenets but not vice versa.
unit 731
u forgot to add
I got one to add to your list. The living hell that is wading through all the "You missed one" comments.
Lol!!
Actually the spaniards leaded by Cortez where but a handfull who, while equipped with advanced weaponry simply did not have the man power to contest with the Aztec army wich numbered around 100 000. Thus the spaniards depended mostly on their alies from the Tlaxcala an Huejoxinco armies who actually could match their ancient Aztec enemies in battle for their war effort. Ultimately it was the smallpox which bringed the empire to its end, faced against this bio-weaponry no army on the world would stand a chance and thus the great cities of Texcoco, Tenochtitlan, Chalco, Tlatelolco and Atzcapotzalco where razed. What came to happen after the war was nothing short of hellish, the Mexican people sufered a genocide of around 90% of the subcontinent inhabitants by pox and by the most vicious means known to mankind. Just to remind the reader, the spaniards who achieved the conquest of America where the most vile of the scum, expunged from european jails for these semi-suicidal enterprises wich where deemed too dangerous for decent Spanish citizens.
Those spanish allies were fool scumbags, they deserved what the spanish did to them afterwards.
Damn.
Makes me feel like a TOTALLY PATHETIC LOSER that I complain about "not having enough people to help me at work."
Yipes.
Great video---sorrowful and horrifying history.
UNIT 731 was indeed the worst hell on earth. No doubts i still cant believe in it.
All chosen were surely brutal times. Perhaps follow-up can include Srebrenica, Nanking, Native American Genocide. Love all of your shows, salud.
I believe the Massacre of Greasy Grass should have been on this list over something like the nuclear submarine.
Yes, there are several things that should have made the list before the nuclear submarine.
Did the Ukrainian Famine of 1932, The Khmer Rouge Killing fields of Cambodia and Stalin's Gulag not want any part of this list?
Exactly! It's nothing to be driven in tiny boats through the ocean!
#10 makes me think of that part during The Princess Bride where Buttercup jumps into the water and is warned about the Shrieking Eels. Alas, there was no one to warn these soldiers about the crocs.
Interesting list. I appreciate the video but I agree with other comments you definitely missed a few big ones that should have been on here.
Leopold II and the Congo? Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge? Mengistu and Qey Shibir?
Some lesser known hells on Earth. Bhopal disaster 1984, siege of Budapest 1944, Yekatit 12 1937, Jasenovac concentration camp 1941-1945, Unit 731 1934-1945, rule of Leopold II in Congo 1885-1908.
What Cortez did was bad, but not as bad as ripping the heart out of a still living person. Surely to those sacrifice victims, the Aztec city was hell on earth. I would rate 6 a lot higher because of the fact that people had no idea what was happening. This was a time when people were dying wherever they went, and there was no explination that made sense, at this led to a whole slew of other horrors from the persecution of the Jews to self mutilation. In my personal opinion, those two things are the most horrible things. Not as bad as the top 3, but still, it was particularly horrible.
Nothing about japanese unit 731? my grandfather lost all his family that time, all his 4 sister and parents. Do you know how he survive? Hiding in some shithole for 2 whole days when he was 10 years old. The youngest was only 2 years old and was kill by throwing alive into a fire. Thats the reality how my grandfather surviver, he is dead now and hope he meet his family again in heaven.
you need to look at a man named Arkhipov. He was on the K-19 and another sub that the US Navy was bombarding during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He refused to start WW III and needs to be remembered as a hero to humanity.
I cant believe that the cambodian killings fields, and the japanese troop that experimented on the chinese didnt make this list
what about the NanJing Holocaust
#2 is so horrible. I think it is really the worst thing I have ever heard of… I am sorry we the U.S.A left them when we did. It did not have to be that way.
The last statement was ridiculous. Satan on his best day couldn't match "The angel of death" ??? Satan on his worst day would make him look like TinkerBell ! Where do you think his sickness comes from, his mom ??!!
You're honestly one of my favorite people doing top 10 lists. Keep doing these. I like them.
;)
Although I agree with all the entries, I think the worst and most hellish period or event in human history was the Belgian reign over the Congo, which by some accounts took the life of close to or over 10 million people, and millions more mutilated, usually women and children, for not producing their quota of rubber. Africa never really recovered from the greed and advanced methods of war that the Europeans brought to their land and has been in turmoil ever since.
You forgot to add the Trail of Tears.
Remember-- one man's hell is another man's heaven.
Tragedies cannot be measured by a scale of 1-10.
Thank you for the lesson of these events in history.
An interesting list but there were more things
- Khmer Rouge and the Cambodian Genocide
- The Armenian Genocide
- Nanking massacre and unit 731
- Stalin's reign of terror
- The Trail of tears
And more
Herero and Namaqua Genocide -- perpetrated by the German Empire in today's Namibia in 1904-1907, the first genocide of the twentieth century. After the Herero and Namaqua people rebelled against German rule, General Trotha issued the first extermination order. Thousands of people were chased into a desert where they died from thirst. Others were worked to death on the Shark Island concentration camp.
The Germans also sent Herero skulls to Germany, so that "doctors" could study them and study the "racial inferiority" of Africans. The doctor who did this work, Eugen Fischer, later did the same work for Hitler, studying Jewish skulls. Many historians draw a parallel between this genocide and the Nazi genocide and Soviet POWs.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herero_and_Namaqua_Genocide
The Spanish didn't really overwhelm the Aztecs. Their guns were useless, and so were there horses. Infact what the Spanish actually did was lead a rebellion.
This is a good list, well thought out and put together.
I would suggest one to rival the no. 1 spot: North Korean political camps. Not only are so many of the atrocities on par or outmatching that of the Holocaust, it's still ongoing.
"10 most awful things ever..." then IF YOU ENJOYED THIS VIDEO...great stuff, just pointing out the irony. Keep up the good work!
"Did you enjoy this video?". Personally I found the topic very gruesome. However I do enjoy your other videos - get the good work going!
And a belated happy newyear!
What about the Irish potato famine? Or the famine following Stalin's sale of his own people's grain?
How about The Killing Fields of Cambodia? And the Turkish genocide on the Armenians? Or the Nanking Massacre? Sadly, we humans are so terrible to each other that you could easily compile another list. And another, and another.....
What about the Balkans in the 90s???
I think the Bubonic plague killed about 20 million people (in the insteance you mentioned) which would have been roughly 1/5 of the population at the time..
200 million people is almost half of the EU so it seems a bit much.
I might be wrong since it's been quite some time since I've read anything about it.
This list is missing the horror of POL POT
As for hell on Heart, you may ask any survivor from the soviet Gulag sysytem, or just read Soljienitsin
Wow 400 years of slavery was number 3 damn unbelievable
Simon, why are there so many different stories of how the Transatlantic Slave Trade transpired? Can you tell me or better yet do a video about it? Thanks TopTenz.
You're forgetting very important fact, The Armenian, Greek, Assyrian genocide by the hands of Turkey
Nobody remembers what the Turks did. It might be deliberate. I don't know?
Should have been a top 50, humans can be so F**ked to each other.
Leopold II of Belgium's atrocities against the people of the Congo
Django reminded us? Lol funny guy
on another note after reading the comments below it becomes apparent that every race, nation, tribe has an axe to grind about another people.
You know, liking this video is a terrible thing to do, I like the video, it is good. But liking a video about death and hell is not so nice
Yeah, I like the vid, it's educational and all but I guess u get my point
Also add the killing field of Cambodia, and also Vietnam. But the killing fields was tragic. Thousands of people were taken and killed but suffocation via a plastic bag.
Simon! Again, you forgot the Khmer Rouge! C'mon Simon! 🗣
It never ceases to amaze me that the British history WILL NOT accept responsibility for American slavery!! The Brits captured the black Africans and transported them to the colonies. This is just one of the atrocities that have a strange history , depending on the nationality of the country and the slaves. My guess is that the Kings of England felt that the lower classes needed a boss to tell them what to do.
How about Pol Pot's Cambodia? THAT was messed up!
Sadly One More to Add - Natives of the Americas .. from all 3 continents - NORTH America, Central America, and South America
you could have made a top 100 of this subject
How do you decide what to cover and are you ever creept out by what you find?
Well the common denominator in hell on earth seems to be people. They either exacerbate a disaster or cause it. The cruelty of people is never ending. We don't learn from the past, and often it seems they try to outdo past hellish situations. Mankind is the catalyst of it's own destruction. Until we stop concentrating on our individual importance, on riches, on fame etc we will just relive Hell on Earth individually or in large numbers. Very distressing.
No mention of the killing fields of Cambodia?
how about unit 371
What does CC or CE mean never heard of this pertaining to years
#10. Well done Royal Marines. The Japanese earned it. Signed - a relative of a Bataan/Bilbid survivor.
Moron.
Not quite sure the Chinese famine should be listed #3 or #1. During the Great Leap Forward, more than 30 million died. There is something called "Xinyang Incident" where more than 1 million starved to death in Xinyang between October 1959 and April 1960. The number of people died in the hands of Mao and his cronies during those three years alone is five times more than that during the Holocaust (not to discount the atrocities of the Holocaust, just to point out the magnitude of the horror on the other side of the world).
Too bad you couldn't have a "Top 11" for a change to include Cambodia's Killing Field.s
