  • this is true but wat flare his rage was the death of his brother because when his brother died because of the romans the romans cut his head of and sends it to hannibal

  • american i right dumb dont even know european history properly the city of sagugtum was not a roman city.

  • @zia685 we concurred all European nations and now your jealous, instead thank us for ending communism and ending German aggression twice. now sit back grab a big mac and enjoy this american program then listen to your american music lol i'm only joking

  • The Carthaginians were descended from the Phoenicians , who were a Semitic race.

  • If you watch the whole documentary:

    They made Hannibal black and a killer, VERY BAD DOCUMENTARY. THEY EVEN SAID THAT HIM CROSSING THE ALPS WAS NOT STRATEGIC, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS FORCED UPON HIM. Totally False. This is the only documentary that says that. How can he cross the alps by force without being prepared in the first place. Also, he could of destroyed the 10,000 roman soldiers in Massilla blocking the passage way to Rome right? But why didn't he, BECAUSE HE WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE.

  • @taklemario shut the fuck up you eurocentric racist!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @345SAT

    Where to start with this uneducated punk!!

    The coin you are referring is depicting a little sub-Saharan boy and not a 28 years old King like Hannibal. The funny thing is that on the back of the same coin and INDIAN elephant is depicted and not a African. I highly doubt you have noticed but this coin has NOTHING to do with Hannibal!!! .Also your illusion continues with the reference of Aryans as not Caucasians... Were the fuck you are getting this BS !!!!

  • @Keysersoze30 Hannibal was black!! you white prick ive visited africa egypt an kenya several years ago and egypt north africa has millions of blacks including tunisa AND an indan elephant hahahaha a little sub-Saharan boy yor fucking stupid an a lier where ARE you getting your info thats an illusion your living in and yes WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT TRUE ARYANS THE TRUE ARYANS ARE A PEOPLE FROM IRAN AND THE SWASTIKA IS AN INDIAN SYMBOL WHITE PEOPLE STEAL HISTORY FROM EVERY CULTURE ON EARTH HAHAHA

  • @345SAT

    Well I was certain that a Nigger will not even know the difference from a Indian Elephant from an African one even if he saw one so ...... what's the point NIGGER !!!!

    So Iranians(Aryans) are black too... ROTFLHAO!!!!

    Nigger IQ + non existed American Education system= LOL

    Any other low IQ in the hood ?!?!?!?

  • @Keysersoze30 no iranians are not black iranians are thier own people an they are the true arayans if you fill im lien look it up you stupid retard an i kno the diffrence you racist azz you just wont accept the truth an hannibal was from africa not india dodo an why would a african boy be on a coin with an indian elephant you kno you talking a lot of shit on youtube so i challenge you to walk into a black barber shop talkin the shit you talkin behind your screen but your to much of a pussy huh!

  • @345SAT

    You are the racist you fuck . I'm not from the U.S and your stupid racist comments will not work with me. You African Americans are 100% racist by default so get you moronic agenda elsewhere .!!

    2nd I'm a Historian myself so your BS about non-Caucasoid Iranians will only work in your illiterate Afrocentric entourage !!!

    3rd) You fucking slaves come from Liberian heritage ...WTF even in your fantasy might you even have in common with people from north or northeast african heritage .

  • Comment removed

  • @345SAT

    Your Afrocentric American propaganda is based EXACTLY in this 1(one) coin that depicts an sub -Saharan teen and and indian elephant since Romans used to depict their slave from all over the world as a common practise , and yoy DARE you illiterate moron to ask me WHY !!!! ALL other coins of the area have a Caucasian Hannibal as usual and you ask me why.. Kiddo.... go sleep ... you are wasting my time ...

    Any other that actually knows anything about history???

  • Comment removed

  • @345SAT You moron, everyone knows that your BS-ing and lieing that Hannibal is black. Go look at the Carthaginian and Roman statues and coins of Hannibal you idiot. I'm 100% sure that you know it yourself that your wrong... Don't even bother complaining and defending your worthless argument. Its true, and you know it.

  • @345SAT Just shut up dude. YouTube doesn't need your worthless, garbage argument.

  • Comment removed

  • Hannibal wasn't white... he was tanned probably like the Tunisians are today. Unless there was a huge migratory move from europe there.

  • Yes, huge migration from Phoenicia , since Carthage was a Phoenician colony .

    American driven Afrocentricism and they ignorance is starting to get on my nerves lately...

    

  • @Keysersoze30 hello not trying to be ugly are anything but im a libyan american living in new orleans la an the few times ive visted my family back home i saw plenty of people who resemble the actor playing hannibal idk how he really looked but he could have looked like that who knows?

  • @88alimustafa

    Well Carthage was in Modern Tynisia not in Libya so ... ;)

    You see Carthage was invented by Phoenicians and Greeks . Hannibal was of royal blood like his father and interbreeding with other race much souther than his homeland was not something of the norm in those days.. you see they married other aristocrats of the same line ...;) After all Modern Tunisia is 98% Arab-Berber and no Toubou population like in modern south Libya ;););)

  • @Keysersoze30 Just so you know, Carthage was founded by only Phoenicians, it wasn't "invented" by Greeks. BY THE WAY, WHAT I'M SAYING IS FROM PHOENICIAN AND GREEK HISTORY: Queen Ellisar (Dido)-Greek) of Tyre founded Carthage. She named it Carhadash.

  • lmao @yammer... why would northern africans be white????/?/?/??? 

  • Comment removed

  • This is historically inaccurate shizznitz going on...the romans would have fought as a single highly discliplined unit... that is why the romans win..and win..and win

  • @RadSacredBand do you know nothing? this is not the mighty roman army that we are familar with this is when the senate was in charge of rome, also at this time their generals were only chosen from aristocratic famlies, who of course were seroiusly inept and lacking in true warfare experience.

  • Hannibal, a dual wiielder? Is that historically accurate?

  • I have a man crush on Hannibal

  • ...when Hannibal single handedly killed every single Roman solider personally.

  • HE WAS NOT A LIGHT SKINNED BLACK MAN READ RACIAL REALITY ON PHONECIANS/MOORS

  • @MeatstickRob88 LMAO!!! Whine some more. 

  • Cathaginans werent black they were arabians

  • @N9mber

    Cathaginans are cannites and Phoenicians arabs don't have that dna sorry!

  • @N9mber

    hannibal mean severant of baal that even more proof he was cannite desendant.

  • @N9mber i dont care what race he belongs to... but the most important of all... hannibal is one of the most terrible and frightening opponent of the roman empire... but sadly he was defeated by scipio africanus in the Battle of Zama...

  • Respond to this video... the reason why scipio defeated hannibal because scipio studied hannibal's tactics in the battle of cannae in the which he uses the same tactic to defeat hannibal in the battle of zama..

  • @hubert6988 The real reason he got beat is because Carthage cut off the money and didnt support him...always about money

  • Didnt Hannibal have a beard?

  • HANNIBAL WAS A CARTHAGINIAN AND THEY WERE FROM NORTH AFRICA. NORTH AFRICA WAS RULED BY KEMETIANS AND CARTHAGINIANS WHICH WERE MOORS. WHITE PEOPLE AND ARABS KILL ME TRYING TO CLAIM THEY WERE ORIGINAL AFRICANS, LOL!!! ARABS ARE THE OFFSPRING OF AFRICANS AND GREEK PEOPLE, AND EUROPEANS WERE STILL IN EUROPE AND EUROPE ONLY WITH YALL, "I THOUGHT THE EARTH WAS FLAT" LOOKING ASSES, LOL!!! EUROPEAN HISTORY HAS SO MANY FLAWS IN IT, ITS JUST RETARDED TO SEE YOU ALL TRYING TO PLUG THEM.

  • @RealDeal901 You got that 1 guy, I dont think there should be any fighting or disagreement about who is lighter or who is darker - the moors came later on, but the true civilized cradle started as they teach - in Sumer but these pre-phoenecians were gradually moving south to the Nile basin and then east where they met and traded with the Ethiopian empire.

  • lmao at this version of hannibal. his mother was a spaniard and his ancesters were from lebanon. lmao at trying to portray him as a black man. ridiculous

  • @bradyischamp Hannibals father was Dark but Hannibal is described as not being like his father in appearance

  • @mago216bc

    "Hannibal was Phoenician and most people in Lebanon have the Phoenician gene."

    Yeah Right!!!!

    The ancient Phoenicians were a black nation that colonized another black nation (including berbers) already living in Carthage... quit day dreaming and pick up a book written by a non-EUROPEAN historian to find out the TRUTH:)

    LMAOF

  • @joeghaida "that is why middle eastern people ruled north africa and not blacks."

    right keep daydreaming ... LMAOF

    I suggest you quit watching FOX news or Animal Planet and pick up a book ... LMAOF

  • To give a hint of how ethnically diverse North Africa is, the modern Berbers are a heterogenous collective of different ethnicities. The Kabyles make up about 40% of the population of Algeria. As I mentioned, they are the descendants of the ancient Numidians, sometime allies and enemies of the Carthage. The Tuaregs, living on both sides of the Sahara, are mostly Black. And there are the Riffians of northern Morocco who appear to be White. Feel free to google these people if you like.

  • So they got a black person to portray a Pheonician/Canaanite.

  • Hannibal is one of the greatest tacticians and military leaders in world history alongside Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, David, Joshua, Genghis Khan, Sun Tzu, Attila the Hun, Spartacus, and of course if you want to go modern... Napoleon Bonaparte. Him and all those guys above just kick unbelievable amounts of ass. Ain't history just awesome and badass? Thumps up if you agree with me.

  • @OtherSideOfSanity I don't doubt that there were black people in Punic territories. But there is little mention of them in literary sources, so possibly any that lived there would have just integrated with the local Libyan and Liby-Phoenician communities. Most of the uppercrust of Carthaginian society were culturally and ethnically Phoenician. And how can you say that no one knows what Hannibal looked like when we have coins struck in his image from his lifetime?

  • Aside from the pointless imitation of the background stylings from the 300 movie, the portrayal of the Carthaginians is just careless. Carthaginians were Semitic colonists from Phoenicia. I mean, if Carthage was a truly native African (ok, Black) civilization, then one wonders why their colonial territories were mostly found overseas in Spain, Sicily, Sardina etc.? Would they have not controlled a bit more of Africa than they did if that was the case?

  • @Vexille1983 if that's true then why did Alexander go into Asia instead of the rest Europe?

  • @BarbarianBadAss Persia was the foremost superpower of the time. Alexander wanted to fulfil his father's dream of conquering the Persian Empire. Plus, Europe didn't have the Silk Road

  • @Vexille1983 well then it would make since that north Africans would go into the Mediterranean because it had a lot of trading routes and Spain had huge silver mines 

  • @BarbarianBadAss No point in contesting me on this. You may as well argue with surviving literary sources, the mountains of archaeological evidence and the thousands of people with Ph.D's that have spent their professional lives studying this era in history. You still seem to prefer to think that Carthage was founded by native Africans instead of Phoenician emigres.

  • @Vexille1983 you know history can be rewritten just like how back some time ago the white south Africans said that great Zimbabwe had to have been built by white people instead of black Africans

  • @BarbarianBadAss I don't care for for this notion that academia are these racists bastards who are trying to cover-up the achievements of Black people. I not interested in Eurocentrist or Afrocentrist propaganda. No who claims that the Phoenicians originated from west Asia can be accused of claiming their history for White people. If that were the case, then its funny that no one is claiming Ethiopia or Nubia as being "white" civilizations.

  • @Vexille1983 because that would be just stupid. and there has been coins and other images showing Hannibal to be a black African 

  • @BarbarianBadAss Would that be the same Carthaginian silver shekal with the face of a bearded man with a pointed nose and wearing a laurel wreath on one side and the man riding an elephant on the other? Because he doesn't look exactly black to me.

  • @Vexille1983 no it's different

  • @BarbarianBadAss If you're referring to the silver coin with what looks to be a Black man with curly or ringletted hair on one side and a lone elephant on the other, then I would love to know where that one came from. The previous coin I mentioned was minted in Punic Spain on Hannibal's orders to pay his troops. Also, the coins of later Numidian kings look fairly similar in appearance to that of Hannibal. The Numidians are the ancestors of the modern Kabyle people, neither White or Black.

  • @BarbarianBadAss There have never been coins showing Hannibal.

    He could not have been black, since his father was Phoenician, and his mother was Iberian. Simply physically impossible.

  • @migkillerphantom

    Canaan's first son, Sidon, became the father of the Sidonians or Phoenicians. When the Black Hebrews invaded their land most of the Canaanites fled Palestine to Africa.

  • @blackdreamhunk2 Bullshit, everything you said is the purest Bullshit I have ever heard.

    Black Jews? Jews displacing Phoenicians? Black Phoenicians?

    How old are you, 12? Or better still, as you are obviously Afrocentrist, I'd guess you had about 3 grades of education. Am I right?

  • @migkillerphantom

    C.A. Diop in his work, The African Origin of Civilization made reference to the megaliths. He said, "These are found only in lands inhabited by Negroes or Negroids, or in places that they have frequented, the area that Speiser calls “the great megalithic civilization,” which extends from Africa to India, Australia, South America, Spain and Brittany. It is known that the menhirs and dolmens of Brittany date back to an epoch of an agricultural and copper civilization.

  • @migkillerphantom

    Moreover, Spain and Brittany were stopovers for the Phoenicians, a Negroid group, en route to pick up tin from the British mines. That megalithic civilization in Brittany belongs to the second millennium, the period when the Phoenicians frequented those regions. This combination of facts should leave no doubt on the southern and Negro origin of the megaliths in Brittany."

  • @migkillerphantom there have been theories that the Phoenicians are actually from Egypt which is a black civilization which would make more since than them being from Syria given the location of Carthage in north Africa

  • @BarbarianBadAss Those theories are pure BS, then, since the Phoenicians come from modern day Lebanon where FUCKING PHOENICIA IS LOCATED. They would have looked like Jews and Syrians, if not much paler. Not to mention all depictions of them show them as white.

  • @migkillerphantom i dissagree i think that is BS

  • @BarbarianBadAss Who cares what a poorly educated Afrocentric nigger thinks?

  • @migkillerphantom well somebody is a fucking racist 

  • @BarbarianBadAss Yeah, because you do nothing to make me not-racist. Hannibal could not have been black, accept it.

  • @migkillerphantom how? how do you know the Phoenicians weren't black when they where?

  • @BarbarianBadAss I like how you completely dismiss any historiography that doesn't fit your agenda - like, I don't know, any ancient historian describing the Phoenicians as fair skinned?

  • @migkillerphantom i still say it's up to conjecture

  • @migkillerphantom The Phoenicians came from the Sumerians originally, I wouldnt think they were white or fair skinned at all...

  • @rudeboywhitey Too bad there is absolutely no evidence to back that up. The Phoenicians were most likely like modern Syrians/Lebanese, which is... White, and pretty pale at that.

  • Half true. The Phoenecians just came out of nowhere at the beginning of the Iron age and established the trade city of Carthage in the 9th century BCE and spread ideas all over the Mediterranean-their largest legacy was Carthage and their alphabet-which was adopted by the Etruscans and then the Romans, and from there, spread all over the world. There is Phoenician blood running in the veins of way more people than one would think. Their maps even included the edge of the Americas.

  • @GAME4WAR I guess the history channel forgot to activate their RACIST colonial era teachings.

    I was quite surprised they actually portrayed him in his true nature.

    FINALLY LMAOF

    TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL

  • The most ironic thing about hannibal is for all his militay genious and might despite all his victories in the end was a failure having never achieved his main goal of the distruction of rome

  • It's irrelevant what they are portrayed as wearing, annoying yes, but the important things are the historians opinions.

  • he was north afircan of pheonician decent more semitic looking

  • What's the Carthaginian king doing in a celtic religious site ?

  • hannibal is portrayed as a black guy now ? one would expect that the romans would have noticed this and said so if it were so ...no ?

  • @woodenmajor Well, he was african.

  • I only watch the first few minutes of these to see the ridiculousness of the character portrayal; guess whose won.

  • lol 300 rip off.

  • Hannibal could play linebacker for the Steelers. Haha...

  • @samurai392 hahahahahahahah HA HA HAH AHAHAHAH OMFG THAT WAS SOOOO FUCKING FUNNY!!! .....syke

  • @LietuvaLietuviams1 so you saying hannibal was a white african....lol

  • black power we know hes black

  • @mobjeeta he was an arab you dumb fuck Hannibal was from carthage  which is modern day...tunisia ...which is an arabic nation soooo SAND NIGGER POWER COZ HE WAS A SAND NIGGER....NOT A BLACK ASSHOLE

  • Hannibal is gonna fight Ghenghis Khan on Deadliest Warrior this year. Go Hannibal!

  • @Mosh4Yesh777 when you find out when on dealiest warrior let me know please

  • @GoGETTER2001 It premieres July 20th, bro. They've got some really sick matchups this season!

  • @LietuvaLietuviams1 In your stupid dream crakka

  • Think you ((History Channel))……. for tilling the truth now can you guys till the truth about King Tutankhamen …..It’s very significant to black people about tilling the truth about black history………..! And Hannibal’s race the truth will set all people free………..

  • @tonyfears you are soooo right

  • It's funny how during the past few years HANNIBAL, the EGYPTIANS, and the MOORS, and the PRINCE of EGYPT are becoming more and more darker as portrayed in HOLLYWOOD and documentary films.

    THE truth Shall always PREVAIL.

  • @dogons2k12 That's so true. 2012 is coming so they had to start showing the truth.

  • to woodstock. Carthage gave up Saguntum in a treaty with Rome to end the first Punic War. During that war Hannibal's father conquered Suguntum. In the second Punic War, Hannibal took it back in honor of his father. Why would he burn it down?

  • To AnthonyFJC: You’re right. He was black, but Hannibal wasn’t bald. He had a beard and wore a military uniform in battle. You got Hannibal looking like he’s from a Tarzan movie. He was an Aristocrat and merciful. He didn't burn down Saguntum. He used part of it as a military base. Saguntum was once part of Carthage. Hannibal’s army took it back.

  • @eyemoney1 he burnt down Saguntum.Saguntum was never part of carthage before,the Barca were the first carthaginians to estabilish a real carthaginian control in Spain after the first punic war.Saguntum was an allied state of rome and Hannibal's attack on it was used as a casus belli by the romans to deal the recovering charthaginians a new blow

  • HANIBAL WAS WHITE

  • @LietuvaLietuviams1 in your dreams, stop stealing 

  • Top 5 greatest military leaders of antiquity:

    5: Leonidas (stood against 100,000 Persians)

    4: Octavius Caesar (instigated Pax Romana)

    3: Rameses II (fought to a gruesome stalemate against the Hittites, when the battle was grossly against his odds)

    2: Hannibal (need I say)

    1: Alexander the Great

  • @nagaking07 I might say Leonidas can be trumped by Themistocles who actually claimed a victory and drove the Persian Empire back.

    Octavius wasn't a general but he had Agrippa who gave him victory.

    Don' t know what I say about Rameses II but he is similar to Julius Caesar by taking control of a bad situation and turned the tide.

    Hannibal was a great general but Alexander won battles and took cities and is the example all other ancient generals looked to.

  • Lol Huns own hannibal anyday

  • hanibal was white

  • Your stupid, just die.

  • @LietuvaLietuviams1 they are just thinking hes black because he is from africa

  • @flyers5342 THERE ARE SOME COINS SHOWING HIM AS A BLACK AFRICAN 

  • @BarbarianBadAss That's because he is black African and those coins are the oldest coins that were found in italy If I recall correctly and they were in circulation. The elephant is indigenous to africa.Since they are speaking of spain. There is a saying that says africa starts at the pyreness mountains. The mountains between Spain and France.Theres a great history site called real history world wide. You should check it out.

  • @ave383 cool

  • @flyers5342 he is black.

  • @LietuvaLietuviams1 Ya i thought Carthaginians were mediterranians much the same as the Romans. Its just across the sea. I didnt know they were dark skinned black people. Not that it really matters what they were, but in the interest of preserving truth in history, is that right?

  • "Roar" goes hannibal when he slaughters

    You know why, because he's angry?

    Because of that,

    Whenever you say so,

    If you die,

  • I love hannibal when he goes like roar when he kills people

  • Scipio was a black Roman General. This is COMMON Knowledge. History Channel, what a let down...

  • @TiSIWO really? i have to present a report on the punic wars monday and it would be awesome to know any other facts u have that might not be common knowledge.

  • @TiSIWO Pick up a history book, scipio was born in rome and about as white as could be with not a trace of black feature. He was named Africanus for beating hannibal who based on busts of his likeness was a white man as well.

  • @madax132

    There's no actual bust of Hannibal. That caucasian looking bust of Hannibal that you're talking about is a fraud.

  • You know how Romans highly value the republic; then why do they have the Colesseum?

    It's against people's wills to slaughter at the Colesseum.

  • hannibal..destroy rome or die trying...like 50 cent

  • This guy had one of the best tactical war minds of any human born

  • That's true. We studied Hannibal's mind at the science lab. He was 93 percent more genius when it comes to battles. His ropwqyreteerae region of the brain is highly developed.

    From,

    Dr. Richard Song Science lad of history and neurons tironaurtisc.

  • @songrichard99 Troll

  • @Aires190 I disagree. Alexander the Great still tops Hannibal =)

  • @Aires190 one of the greatest yes...next to me. i single handedly won WWII with a swiss army knife and a board with a nail in it.

  • @Aires190 Alexander the Great was the best war strategist in human history.Never lost a battle,conquered everything he wanted,up until his death of course,had the most brilliant strategy of battle,and he was GREEK!

  • @lodhol I never said he was the greatest, I said he was one of the greatested

  • Comment removed

  • It's weird how in all the battles bc episodes, the leader being featured always, alwyas carries two swords.

  • It's because they need to command with a sword and fight with the other one.

    Great question!

  • @BookAddict999 Miltiades had a spear and shield.

  • @BookAddict999 not all how about moses

  • Battles BC Is Epic! I love the History Channel, and this series is one of the greatest they will ever offer! 

  • when I think of the Punic wars it reminds me of the cold war two great nations with allies merciless,vicious and intelligent both great trading power except it Africa vs Europe

  • we learning this in social studies

  • @ilovekingofpop123 I hope they are teaching you chaps about colonialism and how we changed and perverted alot of countries histories to suit our purposes, not only Africa but the histories of Asia and the Near East. If your in an American public school I doubt if they will even bring up, or even much less know or admit to the issue.

  • @housepate1 agreed man , idk where hes getting his sources (not dissing on them) but um the kingdom of of lets "Ghana" or the "Nubians" where around that time and existed at the sahara just wanted to point that out..

  • @crocgator44 Yes your right Carthage was not the only African Empire in existence. Strange how history really is.

  • who is the steroid pumped bantu? Not Hannibal for sure! Shame on these makers.

    Malta forever!

  • Hey guy check out my channel I post Rome Total War videos.

  • Black Power!!!!

  • Hannibal was a Carthaginian , and Carthage was founded by the Phoenicia. In short, Hannibal was ethnically Middle Eastern/Greek, not Black.

  • @Dochirin yeah right

  • @imthrowed94 Sorry but your knowledge of history is extremely lacking if you ignore Carthaginians were ethnically Semite/Greek. If you still doubt, it's simple: here's a Carthaginian shekel portraying Hannibal issued in 230 BC by his own family. He indeed looks Middle Eastern/ Greek.

    Since YT doesn't allow pasting links in the comments Google this (first result): British Museum 230 BC Hannibal Silver double shekel

  • @Dochirin You need to study the Morphology of Carthage, it all points to Phoenicians clustering with Sub Saharans. If in doubt you can look up morphology done upon the Carthagininian Elite as well as their priestly cast.

  • @imthrowed94 whatever blah blah blah

  • @Dochirin technacally he was kinda but overall you rite

  • @Dochirin There has been DNA done upon the Carthiaginian Elite you can find studies done upon the Priestess of Tanis for one example.
