Was Hannibal Negroid?

[Mens-Sarda]

High class Carthaginians were almost all of pure Phoenician blood, or at maximum mixed with Berbers, since most of them despised strangers, and unions with strangers were improbable, moreover the Phoenician quarter of Carthage and the hill of Byrsa with the temples of the gods were off limits for strangers. Except these places Carthage was a multicultural metropolis of 600.000 inhabitants, with Greek, Jew, Libyan (Berber), Iberian quarters.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Even nowadays is not easy to find native individuals that look fully Negroid in terms of phenotype hailing from the North of Africa. During that era it must have been even more unlikely.

Hannibal was 50% Iberian.

Hannibal was 50% Iberian.

You sure? That would explain why he was one of the greatest military commanders in history.

[Truthbetold]

Thor was "black" too

[Amaryllis]

A better question would probably be: Why do Afrocentrists usually seek connections with such historical figures?

Lol, that's Heimdallr, another god from the Norse mythology.

They actually tried reconstructing his face based upon statues of him . He certainly wasn't Negroid , he was pheonican with berber admixture , his last name "Barca" still means in Arabic (another semitic language) lightning . Tunisia was named by the romans Africa after a berber tribe in the region and the name was later adopted to the entire continent . I can't believe the history channel can overlook these facts especially when it is about an important national hero in my country .

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

He was NOT negroid or Negroid influenced. That's politically correct bullshit from the Jewish dominated media, as usual.
