What evidence would that be…? Because he’s literally of Phoenician stock, which if you don’t know what that means, it means his ancestors were from Tyre..which means he’d be light-browned skinned. So, Alex’s portrayal is actually pretty accurate. Not sure why people think he was black.. Carthage was a Mediterranean people.. not an African people. I’m white by the way.. so I get nothing out of saying he was brown.. other then being right.
@@ryanmurphy3624 I mean North Africans and Levantine people have Mediterranean completions, so I don’t think what he was saying was wrong, I actually think he was talking about maybe the black actor that portrayed him, he would isn’t incorrect in saying he was racially Levantine/North African, since to this day if you go to Tunis they aren’t Sub Saharan ethnically, if anything much closer to Southern Europeans, so I don’t really see your point in saying the guy is wrong since Tyre is in the Levant.
@@ryanmurphy3624 Actually evidence points to Phoenician heritage in Carthage being diluted to the point of irrelevance by the times of the Punic wars due to extensive intermarriage and intermixing with the local Berbers, not that they were ever black either but it's not really true to say he was of Phoenician stock.

In the thumbnail that is not Hannibal , its just an actor ... i don't like how Hannibal is portrayed without hard evidence proofs , go to the roman empire and you'll find his ancient original statue in there , nothing like this guy , we north Africans new the romand by heart.
@@Epicilem Good Form🙏🖐 it's easy for people to misunderstand and mislead their thoughts on a characteristic fictional portray in movies and it effect peoples view on the true Hannibal Barcas behaviour, look, dress and life in total.
@matius bond It is not factual nor correct, it is re-writing history because you cannot accept the fact that Northern Africa was controlled by Caucasians since Antiquity. If you did actual research and not just pulled shit out of your ass you would see and find out that Hannibal was not black he was a white Phoenician like the rest of all Phoenicians. Grow up and accept the facts as they are- don’t make up your own history
That portrayal is probably not accurate, but if Hannibal was played by some anglo-saxon actor, I'm pretty only a few percent of people would care, even though he probably looked nothing like a northern european or even someone from southern France or Italy.
4:22 I love Hannibal's response to Scipio's "terms". The look on his face just says: "What do you think, my answer is boy?" While on the subject Scipio's victory against Hannibal in Zama dose not make him a better commander, not even close. He only defeated him once while Carthage was losing the war and while copy pasting his own tactic, while he (Hannibal) faced nature it-self, one unlikely battle after another, came on top and even managed to keep his mercenary army loyal even as they went through hell and back. Any battle Hannibal would lose would result in Carthage's defeat. Scipio just so happened to be the one in charge of one such battle. He is overrated. But then again what to expect when most of history was written by Romans.
If it werent for the romans way to wage war until the end and hanibal s hellenistic view of war i believe that we would have had an epic battle for the domination of the world between carthage and seleucids
The Carthaginians and Seleucids recognised eachother as friends and would probably divide Ptolemy with Seleucids having the East mediteranean while teh Carthaginians had power in the west.
Would love to see a proper movie on the famous general some what like The Gladiator and 300 style. And the song 7 nation army suits well with Hannibal Barca with his mixed troops. A general who could have been the one but well council members like political leaders played the game. Hannibal Barca the tragic hero.
So I recently looked into Hannibal, one of the greatest generals in the world...for me, Hannibal was a wise man who only knew one thing: revenge against the Romans. I was reading at the time after the Battle of Cannae as one of his generals told him "So the gods have not blessed one man with any gift.You know how to win a victory,Hannibal,but not how to use it." ....just great😉
Why is he black? From the several books ive read on Hannibal, he should look like a middle easterner. He was dark skinned, but not black african. Several books say he was most likely a decendant of the King Minos who was not black. He had Syrian origins, syrians aren't african black.
man they know his face we have his body here his shiled and shit u guys think cuz his in africa mean his black like 99% here rn not black u guys just want him to be black lmao
I see you made Hannibal both white and black.. meaning you probably think his skin color is “up in the air” right ? Wrong. We know his ancestory of Phoenician descent. We have busts of him which were in Rome and Carthage. We know exactly what he looked like lmao. His appearance is NOT up in the air. One look at his marble bust and you can clearly see he’s not black. I don’t even understand why this is an issue.. no offense but I’ve seen black people try to claim a lot of different peoples histories as their own.
Well, you can’t really tell if they’re black or white since most busts are in white stone or marble lmao. But yes, history points to Hannibal being white or at least tan
Yes there was blacks in this Era I can care less go Hannibal greatest enemy of Rome love this series cheers to your video mate can you do one on Scipio Hannibals greatest enemy and most respected that's saying alot he Roman
He may have been a "native" but he was descended from the Phenicians who were foreigners that had settled in Africa many years ago. They're thought to have had lighter skin. The truth is we don't really know what he looked liked and there's valid arguments for both sides. I knew this comment would come up eventually which is why I decided to show both actors who played Hannibal

As in semite i mean the subgroup of phoencians damn im dumb
we already know hannibal face and he wasnt black and his father too
