Lol, it is a very well documented fact, his mother was an Iberian princess. He also married one, called Himilce, from Oretania.

No that's a myth we currently know nothing about his mother i don't know why iberians try to appropriate hannibal. Iberians were a minority and the conquest of iberia started later and according to some historians like Gabriel camps , bernard lugan , jean-marie lassère : he was probably a punicized berber simply because he lived 550 years after the foundation of carthage , during the 6th century bc carthage became independent from the mainland (phoenicia) so no more phoenician settlers , it has been proved that the vast majority of carthage's population were berbers but that was expected, weddings between berber and carthaginians were common even among the elite for example the wedding between Syphax and sophonisbe or between Naravas and salammbô and finally the genetic impact of phoenicians on north africa is inexistant even among the bodies found from that era ...so they were not numerous they were quickly integrated in the berber genetic pool like the romans and arabs later.

Hannibal was not...but the leader of the Almoravids Yusuf ibn Tashfin, was

Both Hannibal and the Almoravids certainly had sub saharan regiments in their armies.

Yusuf ibn tashfin was not black at all stop this afrocentrist propaganda pls he was a senhadja berber from the adrar so he was maybe a dark skinned caucasoid but not black

History channel be like: Hannibal was from a place the romans called "Africa" (later africa proconsularis) so he must have been black SS!

carthaginians were of greco-phoenician stock (not a coincidence they were also called lybo-phoenicians) so they were simply eastern mediterranians

btw History channel also made a thing were Achilles was black….a Trojan. which is even more funny since there are plentyfull of black SSA heroes in antiquities's chronicles to chose from.( Memnon of other ethiopian heroes)

At the time of hannibal greeks were a minority in carthage and they were called lybo-phoenicians because they were a mix of berbers and phoenicians but probably more berber than anything else : "Berber princes married women of the Carthaginian society, which was largely open to the natives, so that early on it was difficult to distinguish a Carthaginian of purely Phoenician origin from a Carthaginian of purely Libyan descent. This is why the Punic term, usually applied to the Carthaginians, is more suited to Berbers strongly influenced by the influences of the Carthaginian civilization."

Hannibal was black, Julius Caesar and Louis XIV too. They were whitewashed by white racists supremacits.

Spaniards (let not use the stupid term Iberians) dont give a fuck about Hannibal. 99% of Spaniards dont know even who Hannibal was.
