Was there a battle in history bloodier than Stalingrad?

Depending on how you score it, the Battle of Stalingrad cost the Soviets and Germans a combined 2 million casualties. 95% of the city was destroyed and only 7,000 of the 91,000 Germans who were captured inside the city ever saw home again.
The only other battles that come close are either the Battle of Berlin (1945) or the Battle of Verdun (1916).

During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Not sure - has there been a scientific study done to determine the amount of blood spilled on the battleground?

Can you narrow that down to a single battle.

For a single day battle, it would be hard to find a bloodier one than the battle of Cannae in 220? BC. Hannibal's forces slew over 50,000 Romans that day. It was a battle of total annihilation.

Battle of the Somme - July 1, 1916. 60,000 Brits fell in a single day.

The Somme had like 1.3 million casualties in less than five months of fighting. That might be the worst in terms of human destruction in a short period of time.

Yeah, hard to argue against Somme as WOAT

The difference in the Somme versus Stalingrad was possibly civilian casualties. The whole eastern front World War Two was brutal but the Stalingrad campaign was extremely savage for any civilians trapped in the exchanges. Beevor's book was a good read.
