Was Hannibal actually black? Was he white?

HANNIBAL WAS PHOENICIAN YOU DUMMIES, FOR FUCKS SAKE

Does anyone have any more information on images of Hannibal, specifically coins, some look like the ones posted, some are full negroid. Obviously somethings up here.

*tips fedora*

*tips Galea*
FTFY

A wreath would also be acceptable

why would Romans care if he was black?
wouldn't making him black further make him an alien "other" and barbarian?

Romans didn't hate or particularly care about "black" people though

cringeworthy to be honest

glad I cancelled my cable subscription years as there's nothing worth watching on any of the channels

here is a coin of Hannibal's Brother

I reverse image searched the most famous "full negroid" coin and literally all that came up was Black Nationalist websites. I think it's fake.

He was literally white

>An osteological analysis of the young man from Byrsa, or Ariche, as he has become known, determined that he was approximately 1.7 m tall and aged between 19 and 24 years, and a craniometric analysis indicated likely Mediterranean/European ancestry as opposed to African or Asian [5, 6]. A full reconstruction of the young man was undertaken and this was part of an international exhibition organized by the National Heritage Institute of Tunis and the Carthage Museum. In 2014 the skeletal remains of the young man from Byrsa and accompanying exhibition were taken to the Archaeological Museum of the American University of Beirut where we were allowed to remove small bone samples for ancient DNA analyses to identify the origins of the young man and shed light on the genetic ancestry of the ancient Phoenicians of Carthage.

>The study found that the Y-Chromosome of the famous “’Young Man of Byrsa,” was an extremely rare—and exclusively European marker—and that this is likely the result of extensive admixture with Europeans.

>Analysis shows that the man belonged to a rare European haplogroup – a genetic group with a common ancestor – indicating that his maternal ancestry is linked to locations on the North Mediterranean coast, probably on the Iberian Peninsula.

genetics is racist because it BTFO of all these kooky nationalist theories

one thing is for sure he definitely wasn't a barbarian.

The bigger question is why if Hannibal is black are all of his troops white/Semitic looking? If History channel was so confident in their choice for the actor why did they not make the rest of his army black?

but he wasn't Roman
therefore he was a barbarian dummy

when the roman was still figuring out how to lay a wall the greek was mapping the geometry of life

Ah, did a bit of research. The accepted academic theory is that the Clanis Valley "negroid" coins were struck to honor Nubian Mahmouts who travelled with Hannibal's army.

Greeks are fags though

the point being that romans can hardly call barbarian

Are North Africans mad their history is being appropriated by white liberals on behalf of Black people? Seriously, there has been no major genetic shift in North Africa for thousands of years. They look how they looked throughout recorded history. But they're history has been ... Blacked.

The guy in the bottom middle of the picture (not the guy holding the flag) looks black with that wooly hair.

he's black by american standards

>american standards

>that image
There's an explanation for this: those men are all Caucasian. Obviously, Caucasian =/= white. However, Americans and their stupidity dumbed it down to white.

actually, you're allowed to put whatever you like as your ethnicity

So I want to say as a black person, That Hannnibal was not black and I have never met a black person who think's he was. Or a black person who thinks Egyptians besides one Dynasty was black either.

This shit goes back to two delusional groups one black nationalists who delude themselves, and are a very very small faction. And a very strange group of white liberal academics who legitimize them.

Now we all know most people will believe anything they read. So if someone is blowing smoke up your ass after being shit on your whole life you can see why some people would actually believe it.

But ya white people need to discredit these idiot academics who sign on to this shit.

White is a fairly modern term, and one that has expanded greatly over its life.

There are only 4 options and they are all retarded

4 options on what?

Yeah they don't take you to a government office and classify your race for you. People get upset at that sort of thing.

what's the difference between sexual predator and sexual offender, the predators have higher scores?

Sorry 6. 6 official racial categories in the united states, plus an extra one that is used but isnt official. White, Black, Native American. Native Alaskan, Pacific Islander and mixed. "Other" is used but unofficial. Its why you have all those guys listed as white

they should add a not white category instead of other

youtu.be/hfIe9P13X8s

help us dislike it

why do they label it as barbarians rising?

ask them that not me

It doesn't help that social media blows everything out of proportion, and small strange groups of people can make a lot of "noise" and get lots of attention.

I just wonder who is rising?

carthage has fought with rome for ages by this point, it was a struggle of great powers

It's a new TV show about various barbarian rebellions against Rome

It's awful. It looks super cheap, the pacing is wack, and the acting is amateur.

if it's about rebellions, then why is carthage here?

they were a valid competitor

Actually pretty cool desu

Looks pretty white to me

Who knows. He was probably brownish.

Can North Africans and Egyptians speak up please?

This is literal racism on the part of Black people.

He looks like my half Arab (or Lebanese, I can't really remember) cousin

>Can North Africans and Egyptians speak up please?

They will not speak up against this. You know why? It's because they do not relate to those people.

Tunisians and Egyptians care far more of their Islamic Heritage than the heritage of their forebears. In Tunisia for example, WE WUZ CARTHAGINIANS is the we wuz overthere and isn't taken seriously by the average Tunisian. In Egypt, they shill the shit out of Ancient Egyptian relics for tourism and heritage purposes but make no mistake, among their people they're far more proud of, I dunno, Mamluk Egypt than Pyramids n shiet.

>Among their people
Even the Coptics?

Very disspointed they didn't decide to make a show instead about Scipio

>Coptics
Christian Heritage > Pyramids n shiet.

He was a levantine man most likely.

It's unfortunate how true this is

>Be black
>Something old enough to not be able to prove who created it?
>Black people created it!
>Someone old enough to not be able to prove his race?
>He's black!

Can we shift from PC era already? This shit is starting to get out of control.

was this liam neeson style nose actually more prevalent in antiquity or was it just an artistic convention?

Same here, an 8 part mini series starting with the first punic war as a prelude up to 'ungrateful fatherland, you will not even have my bones'

This also applies to the Greeks who care more about their orthodox christian Heritage than their Ancient one and even the Persians who care more about Nader Shah than Cyrus
Only Italy and Funnily Iraqi Ba'athists care about pre Medieval socieities

which one?

The one that shifted the course of history to what we see today i assume

Pretty sure egyptians and north africans dont have to deal with nor address african American retardation

Why does no one ever fact check these people

>what's the difference between sexual predator and sexual offender, the predators have higher scores?

Offenders lack the invisibility technology and shoulder mounted laser weapon.
