Under Mongol rule supposedly millions died as well. Those were pagans and Buddhists by the way.
If the Buddhists do it, the Christians do it, the pagans do it, the Muslims do it and supposed secular democracies do it, it leads me to the conclusion that the beast isn't the religion per se, it's humans as a whole.
As I said, they didn't enforce their ideology on the conquered people. They just extracted tax and moved on. Abrahamics on the other hand....
How many statues and relics did the Abrahamics demolish? We even see this in modern times (Bamiyan Budda statue destroyed by Taliban, Palmyra demolished by ISIS, Islamic Republic preventing people from visiting Cyrus grave on his day)
