    The (republican) romans in this video are using (imperial) equipment that would not be seen until almost 200 years later and this claims to be the best documentary about Hannibal?

    Aham.

    People in Tunisia (where Carthage was) don't look like what people think of as typically African. There's no need to remake them into something they weren't.

    And for all black-centrists that comment in this video.

    The army that go along with Hannibal WAS NOT Carthaginian, WAS CELTIBERIAN AND GAUL PEOPLE. Mercenaries.
    The falcata, SOLIFERRUM, celtic swords, etc

    I Hope all my Dear Ngero-centrist understand this i will explain how carthage wasen't a Negroid and a black civilization
    1 – Carthage was a city-state empire racially was predominatly amazigh/libyans who embraced the more advanced culture of the pheonicians traders because Pheonician in carthage were absorbed by the berbers who stormed the city
    2 – carthage was culturally Libyco-Punic that can be seen throught their gods Amon- Tanit which are Berber gods before even the pheonician starts their civilization in the middle east
    the carthaginian culture like the coastal berbers and many other mediteraneans like greeks and romans and language the tifinagh of modern Amazigh is the closest thing to ancient carthaginian even many famous Carthaginians people their names are pure Berbers not pheonician Like Amilkar & Gisco
    3 – My Dear Black negro-centrist let me inform you that carthaginians are the first to discover many places in the world including West Africa they reached as Camroon in the south and Irland in the north and some claim that they reached the Americas
    4 – i advise any negro-centrist before he can claim carthage to read Hanno The navigator trip to west Africa he wanted to expand and make new trade routes in the south (wonder if that you won't like it and it will hurt your feelings ? yes, but it's truth )
    carthaginians had no ideas about Negroid they are like nothing they have ever saw before Hanno Journal say it all
    5 – if you claim Berbers aka Libyans are Black too well i have to return to an older civlization which have the best records still alive The Ancient Egyptian have clear photos on how the libyans looked
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Egyptian_races.jpg
    this is a photo of 4 diffrent ethnic groups guess which one was the libyan
    y6 – Genaology also proved that theres no Negroid DNA in north Africa old enough to witness carthage most negroid traces came after the Trans-saharan Slave trade that apperaed between 700 & 900 AD which is created by the southren berber tribes like the Sanhajid who are knowen also as moors and they are the ancestors of tuaregs tuareg and Sahrawis and that's why are darker than other berbers because they intermarried with negros from sub-saharan Africa

    Fuck what's up with the comment section? I only saw one comment saying that Hannibal was black, yet dozens of people complaining about "Negrocentrist" and wanting to "push them back to the toilets of history". Bunch of assholes over here

    Yes Hannibal wasn't black, the vast majority of people know this. A few out liners saying this opposite shouldn't get your panties in a bunch. Just educate them and move on.

    So many people are getting uppity in the comments about race and whether or not Hannibal and his army were black or not, and I'm just sitting here going "Why is Hannibal's actor not wearing an eyepatch?"

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!! PLEASE STOP SAYING HANNIBAL WAS BLACK…..The bible IS NOT an authentic HISTORICAL document, no self-respecting Historian would treat it as a significant historical account……I would much rather listen to professional Historians with DECADES of experience, and thousands and thousands of hours of research, who all say that the Carthaginians, were Phoenician’s!, who immigrated from modern day Lebanon/Syria as a fishing colony which would become Carthage…. so Hannibal would be a modern day Arab/Moor….NOT BLACK…….its amazing to me how much you’re willing to LIE and fabricate History just to fit your own personally desired narrative, really?? are You so lacking in Cultural self-esteem that you have to go around and start hijacking other cultures/nations/empire Historical figures and accomplishments ….P.S the ancient Egyptians WERE NOT black either.

    Sorry, but claiming that Hannibal must have looked like a native Nigerian or Kenyan because they were all "from Africa" makes about as much sense as claiming that Cyrus the Great must have looked like a native Mongol or Vietnamese because they were all "from Asia".

    Hannibal's skin colour is the same as Arabs, Persians, the people of Carthage today (Tunisia) The Tan colour. You black americans who believe Hannibal Barca was black, you are wrong. African does not = black there are Whites, Arabs, Mixed People etc living in Africa.

    Negrocentrists still make me laught when they research history they foul all videos with their sterile and unconstructive comments.. As a Tunisian I say Hannibal was like ME : a Berber and Berber are not black we know our ancestors above many many generations and no one of them were black and we have many many sites and artifacts in our country who can easily break negrocentrism once for all and push them to the toilet of history !!

    Hannibal was a black man, white people love to cover up people faces with theres. White people are the devil the bible speak of.

    So basically what he did was- killed elephants for no reason, wasted countless human lives and killed himself. Good job.

    The debates here are quite hilarious, was he black or not? Well, seeing as he inhibited North Africa, he was obviously part African. The Arabs are part African just like WE ALL ARE. People migrated over thousands of years, this war wasn't very long ago. Seeing as human history supposedly goes back 300,000 years, 2,000 years is not a long time ago. He was an Arab, Spaniards are mixed with Arabs; Visigoths and many more. All in all, even the people from Rome were mixed with Africans, people just distance themselves like we were segregated from the beginning. Scientifically speaking, we are all the same and just like now we are battling over territory; they did so then, but let's get this straight, he was an Arab and Arabs are mixed with Africans because not only is Carthage in AFRICA, humans migrated from Africa more than 300,000 years ago.
