Honestly, the worst civilization of all time is the Hebrews.
Not because I'm anti-semetic, but the Hebrews invented the monotheistic deity that has been the excuse for hundreds of thousands of wars, acts of violence, slaughters, genocides, and attacks.
That being is now worshiped by billions, with hundreds of different sects that believe they have the right interpretation of this god. Allow me to list some of the atrocities done in this god's name:
The Crusades Spanish Inquisition Forced conversion of native Americans and Africans Destruction of the Buddha statues Sack of Constantinople Thirty Years War Attacks by ISIS and other Islamic terror groups Persecution of Jews, Christians, and Muslims worldwide across the centuries French Wars of Religion The Holocaust And so forth. Hundreds of millions dead. Killed in the most inhumane ways possible. All because one group of Ancient Canaanites decided to have one all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present deity.

Well that depends. History has been twisted too much. And there are too many variables and points of divergence in the past. Probably the things you mentioned would've happened anyway, just under a different excuse. Perhaps Zoroastrianism, the first major monotheistic religion, would've spread from Persia and into Arabia, the Levant and Europe, were it not for the Abrahamic religions. Who knows?

Oh my only point was that 99% of the world is better than Saudi Arabia. Really the only thing I was glad about was that when people think "List of Evil Things Civilizations Have Done" nothing that India has ever done ever really comes to the forefront of the mind. That's something to be slightly-proud of, although I am sure there are some civilizations that have even cleaner records.

Well, let's get to the root of the issue: People are f***ed up and want power.
So pretty much every society to have ever existed did some wrong things, and as such this list will most likely be impossible to complete
So, we now have a nationalism buisness going on in this thread in which everyone is trying to prove that their nationality has a cleaner record than the others, or that the good they did makes up for the bad.
please use the geographer's definition of nationality for the above portions.

What even is evil? The term is subjective. Everyone has their own personal view and opinion on what that really means and what measures a nation must go to to be qualified as such.
